Back from Thanksgiving Break!

Welcome Back!  I hope everyone had a relaxing and fun break.  Advent begins!  Let's begin preparing for Jesus's birthday celebration! 

HOMEWORK HELP:
There will be changes in Homework help.  Because of basketball, I will not be able to do homework help because I will be driving to out of town games and attending games at school.  I am sorry about these changes, but this is what being a parent is all about.  I will resume regular homework help days after Christmas break!

Drivers needed:
Our first event will be the Nutcracker ballet on Friday, December 3, 2010. 
The second event will be our communion service on Friday, December 10, 2010.
I will blog information soon.

Pen Pal gift drive:
Our service project will be to provide gift bags for our pen pal class.  The majority of the class comes from very low income families.  Last year this was so rewarding.  The children were so excited and very thankful for the gifts that the students gave them.  There are 16 students.  There are 4 girls and 12 boys.  They are about the same ages as my students.  I am requesting new items and toys that my students love.  I hope that each student can give at least two items.  They love art items/ craft items and toys.  Remember that giving is what the Christmas season is all about!  We need to start collecting items asap because
it would be great to give them their gifts before Christmas!  Please talk to your child about what it means to give without receiving gifts in return.  My students really are so loving and giving.  I am so proud of them and what you have taught them!  Thanks again!!!!!!
