Christmas Program

On Friday, the Christmas program begins at 7:00 PM. Please have your child in their classroom by 6:40 PM. The 5th -8th graders will assemble in the Kidzone room. They can be picked up again in their classrooms after the program.

The students should wear their "Sunday Best." 2nd, 3rd & 4th graders will be performing a special number and have already been told what to wear.

The program will only be about 45 minutes this year. Many are involved in the parade the next morning, and the final touches to the float will need to be added Friday night. The PTF will have a table set up for parents to purchase shirts and get the lastest parade information.

PARADE INFORMATION

We have been assigned Division 4, #10. The staging area is on Camilla Street, East of Greenleaf and North of Hadley. (One block North of Winchell’s donuts). The float must be in position by 8 AM and all students should be in place and in costume by 8:30 AM. The parade is scheduled to begin at 10 AM. We are recommending that you park near the Community Center by Joe Miller field (the end of the parade route). We also recommend carpooling from the school as much as possible. Parking will be limited and difficult to find. The city does close off most of the streets by 8 AM.

The weather is forecasted to be wintery cold with a high of 55 degrees at parade start time. Dress warm! There is also a slight chance of drizzle. Hopefully, that will wait until the afternoon.

PTF NEWS
Please turn in any unsold Carls- JR booklets to the office by next week. All monies from sold books must be turned in by Wednesday. Thank you for helping out the students with your fundraisers.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Next week is early dismissal every day at 2 PM. There is NO CLASSES on Friday, but extended care will be available the entire day. The middle school teachers will be available in Rooms 302 & 304 the entire day. If you would like to make a particular appointment with one, we would highly recommend it.
