Holiday Events

This school year is really flying by!  These months have been a lot of fun for the teachers, and we hope, for your children as well.  As December is a busy month for all of us, I wanted to take a moment to let you know about a few events we are having at TPAAK and the Preschool.

Our Preschool Holiday Program will be held on December 18th at 6pm in the cafeteria.  Yes, your child will be on-stage!  You are welcome to bring family and friends to this event.  We will have some light, dessert-type refreshments after the performance.  These usually last 30 minutes to an hour.

Our Holiday Parties will be held in each classroom on Friday, December 21st.  This is the last day of school for 2012!!  Watch for more information from your classroom teacher.

Reminder:  The Preschool is CLOSED the week of December 24-28, and closed on December 31 and January 1st.  We will reopen on January 2nd.  If you plan to miss any of the days we are in session, please email Shanda with the information or fill out the PINK form that was in your box last week.  This is the only way to avoid being charged for missing days over the break.

There are 2 Charity drives being done at TPAAK during this month.

1.  Toys for Tots: Student Council is holding a Toys for Tots drive until December 21. Students and parents are encouraged to bring in new, unwrapped toys for those in need this holiday season.

2.  2^nd grade is doing the Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive with Scholastic Book Clubs. We are collecting new pajamas for donation from now until December 14^th. The Pajama Program is a nonprofit organization that provides new books and new pajamas to children in need! Here is the link to the drive page for more information: https://clubs2.scholastic.com/programs/pjdrive.shtml?cid=SBC/e/20121114////PJDrive_8660///Z-PJT/////&ym_MID=1448638&ym_rid=16928672

Thanks so much for a great first semester!  We can't wait for an even better 2013!!!
