We had a fantastic day today!  Just wanted to let you know that the kiddos were making very good decisions.  :)

Did you happen to notice that the hot lunch order form was attached to the News Slice that went out yesterday.  If your 6th grader forgot to bring an order form home, you can just print out another copy to send in--Woohoo!  Hot lunch forms are due this Wednesday, 12/18.

We are starting our graham cracker houses on Monday, so students will need to bring their decorating candy on Tuesday.  I have the graham crackers and will be making royal icing for "cement".  The icing is made with meringue powder.  FYI in case of allergies.

Next week is the big week.  We have dress rehearsals and two performances (2:00 PM and 7:00 PM).  As a reminder, students are to wear white turtleneck shirts and khaki pants for both performances.  We are looking forward to sharing the Christmas story with you from the angels' perspective.  :)

Wishing you a wonderful weekend ...
