Mistletoe Magic:
We will have a holiday performance on December 4th. All grade levels along with Crams Chorus will be singing a holiday song! It will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church and the show will begin at 6:00. Kindergarten will be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”. This is a very special voluntary event. Your child does not need to be present this night. We will be practicing and learning the song as a grade level and if so not wish for your child to be a part of this practice, please let me know. Like I said, it is a fun and special holiday event and we hope all the students will participate. 

Christmas Centers:
We will be having some fun Christmas centers on December 14th from 9:30-11:15.  I'm looking for at least 5 parent volunteers that day.  I will also have a sign up sheet coming out on Bloomz with some items I need for our special centers.  I know how busy this time of year can be so I'd like to have that organized early.  I am also asking for each student to bring 25 small trinkets (no food) to pass out into each student's stocking.  Small trinket ideas are pencils, small toys, erasers, a sticker.... Please send these small trinkets any day before December 12th in a bag clearly labeled "Stocking Stuffers" and your child's name.  

Toy Drive:  Cram is having a toy drive.  If you have a new unwrapped toy you'd like to donate, please send it in a bag clearly labeled "Toy Drive".  Thank you!

Candy Cane Lane Store:
This store gives your child an opportunity to shop for small gifts for his/her family members.  More information will come home about this very soon.
