ROOM PARENTS: Christmas classroom parties are THIS

providing/planning for refreshments and games. A list of room parents may be
found on the reverse of these notes. We are expecting a “special visitor” at
9:30 on Thursday morning!
CLASSROOM CHRISTMAS GIFTS: The students will
exchange gifts within the classroom. Boys should buy for boys and girls should
buy for girls. The gift should be of $5 value. Please send your gifts in to the
classroom.
EXTENDED CARE FAMILIES: Please make note –
there will be NO AFTERNOON EXTENDED CARE SERVICES THIS THURSDAY, December 21st,
after the school Christmas parties. We realize that this was not noted on the
original school calendar. However, the staff has the opportunity to visit
Father Pat after we dismiss at 3:00, and we would like to be able to do that,
if his health permits. Morning extended care will still be available, and you
WILL NOT be charged for that service if you are a normal morning extended care family.
GUN RAFFLE: If you need additional tickets contact Josh
Vandike, Jay Harms, or Greg Koetting. Mr. V’s tickets are available at the
office, along with more flyers, if you need those. The first drawing will be January 20th.
CHRISTMAS CAROLING @ CAPITOL plans have been
cancelled. We just received the flyer with info. on Thursday, which is on the
reverse of these notes. Perhaps some parents that work at the Truman Building
or in the capitol area might be interested in attending? If you do, please
report back to us, so that we may plan for next year.
ELDON CHRISTMAS PARADE: Thanks to all who
showed up to ride and help alongside the float last Saturday. It is always good
for our students and parents to get out there and represent Our Lady of the
Snows School. Special thanks to Jay Harms, for the float, his time, and use of
his vehicle & trailer.
PULL THOSE BOX TOPS! With all the
Christmas baking and family meals this time of year, make sure you are pulling
off those “Box Tops” from General Mills products. We are low on submissions
this go around, so we would like EVERYONE to start sending those in. Look at it
this way - every time you throw one away, you are throwing a dime in the trash
can! Our next submission will be at the end of February.
ITALIAN FEAST THEMES: All families are
asked to donate items to their child’s classroom basket in preparation for the
Italian Feast/Silent Auction on Feb. 3, 2018. The items should be of at least
$5 value. As an alternative, you may choose to send in money, and let the
classroom teacher shop for you. Please send items in as soon as possible.
Themes are as follows:
PK: Car
Cleaning Kit
K/1: Farm
Toys/Farm Animals/Horses
