Christmas Gift Exchange - Each year our students exchange Christmas gifts with one another based on a 'name exchange' done the morning of the Thanksgiving feast. In an effort to ensure that these gifts are not a burden to families, we ask that each student adhere to the following spending caps: Elementary (grades K - 5) $3.00 - $5.00 JH (grades 6 - 8) $5.00 - $7.00 HS (grades 9 - 12) $7.00 - $10.00 - It's always encouraging when we have the opportunity to witness our students being both gracious givers and receivers during our gift exchange. Gifts are asked to be brought to the school by December 13th to ensure no one forgets theirs in the busyness of getting ready the morning of party day. Students will exchange gifts with one another on December 15th.
Christmas Party - Friday, December 15th - students will be released at 11:30 -As part of our party day, we ask everyone to bring a snack to share. If you are in grades K - 5, please bring a healthy and a sweet snack to share. If you are in grades 6-12, please bring the following: Last name beginning with A-L (bring a sweet snack) - M-Z (bring a healthy snack). All clean up jobs must be done before students are released for Christmas break - Christmas break begins December 18th and classes will resume January 3rd
