Thanksgiving Program:

We are in the Thanksgiving Program tomorrow night Thursday November 13, 2014. We have been practicing our performance and the children are eager to get up on stage.  We will meet in our classroom at 6:15 pm.  The program starts at 6:30 pm.  Children are to wear something nice.  Church clothes are fine. See you there!

T-Shirts:

We are making a Native American costume. Please bring in an adult sized white t-shirt. One of Dad's old ones is perfect! Turn in ASAP.

If you are interested in helping out in the classroom (9-10), just let me know and we can arrange a day for you to come join the fun!

Operation Christmas:

As we give thanks for the blessings in our lives let us not forget those in need. Each year the classes at OLM gather various supplies and create shoe boxes filled with necessities and small toys for the poor in third world countries. I will be sending home a flyer of things that your child can bring to contribute to our Operation Christmas shoebox. Due:  Monday November 17th

Hair: Boys--hair must be above the ears, eyebrows and collar. Girls--only Black, brown, white or OLM hair clips (etc) may be worn ( no pink, purple, aqua, etc., hair ties, clips or rubber bands).

Thanksgiving Snack: It is tradition here at OLM for the kindergarten (Native Americans) to share a Thanksgiving snack for the first graders (Pilgrims).
