Pre-Holiday Fun

We have been learning about different holiday customs around the world.  The children are making gifts to share with you and we have been practicing our songs and play.

Once again, the M/T group will have their performance in the music room at 1:00 on 12/20 followed by refreshments. The W/Th/F group will have theirs on 12/21 at 10:40  followed by our luncheon.  If you have not already done so, please send in your lunch preference to help the cooks plan ahead.
