Thanksgiving Snack:

It is tradition here at OLM for the Kindergarten (Native Americans) to host a Thanksgiving snack for the First graders (Pilgrims). We will have a small Thanksgiving snack with Mrs. Meisenheimer's1st grade class 11/20/13. I am asking each child to bring an adult sized white t-shirt to make our costumes.  One of dad’s old plain white t-shirts is fine.  We will be painting them and cutting them.

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. Please bring in your contribution tomorrow (refer to last weeks notice).
