Dear Parents,

Yikes!  It is December!

December is a short month for school; however, we have a lot going on.

The school is now decorated and it feels very Christmassy.  The downstairs real tree is big and looks so pretty.  VPK has a small tree with colored lights and ornaments while the office has a small tree with colored lights.  The railing downstairs is decorated with garland and the children's stockings will soon be hanging there.

We are looking forward to our Christmas program which will be on Tuesday evening, December 18th, at 6:00 p.m. in the church. A newsletter will be sent home on Monday the 10th detailing instructions for that night.

The children's Christmas party will be held on Friday morning, December 21st.  Please make sure your children are here by 9:00 a.m., as Santa will be visiting us at that time.

Gift exchange items should be under our tree by Wednesday, December19th.  Please let us know if you are unable to purchase a gift, so that we can take care of that for you.

There is a 3:00 p.m. dismissal on the 18th and a noon dismissal on the 21st for all children.

We have been busy making gingerbread decorations and hearing a "love story" about the birth of Jesus.  The children are learning to play the colored bells and practicing the songs for our program.

School will be closed for Christmas holidays from December 24th through January 4th.

Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year from the Staff of Argonauta!

Joyfully,

Cindy and Sandy
