Dear Families,
I can't believe we only have two weeks until Winter Break!  Even though there aren't many days, there are tons of things happening.  Here's what I know about at this point.

Holiday Shop- PTO is sponsoring a Holiday Shop this year.  The Shop will be open this week (December 7th).  Students will have an opportunity to browse at the shop on Tuesday and then do their actual shopping on Thursday.  The hope is that the Holiday Shop provides a place where students can Christmas shop for friends and families. The Holiday Shop will also be open the evening of December 10th.

Cookies, Hot Chocolate, and Caroling- PTO will also be hosting Broadway's Second Annual Cookies, Hot Chocolate, and Caroling party on Thursday, December 10th from 5:30-7:00.  Pizza will be available to purchase; cookies and hot chocolate will be free.  PTO is looking for donations of baked goods. This is a fun event, hope to see you there!

Field Trip to Wells Fargo- The second graders will be walking down to Wells Fargo on Wednesday, December 16th.  They will be learning about the different types of services banks provide.  They'll also get a chance to see the vault and other areas of the bank.  Please sign and return your child's permission form if you have not already done so.

Class Christmas Party- Information about our class Christmas party was sent home with your child on Friday.  However, I know that sometimes the info may not get from school to home, so I am attaching the letter here as well (Christmas letter).  We'll be looking for family members to help with cooking, serving, and crafts.  Janille Hudson, our class room parent, may be contacting you to see if you are available.  Thanks in advance for your help, and, as always, families are welcome to join us for any portion of the day's festivities.

Winter Break-Winter Break will be December 21st-January 4th.  There is no school for students on Monday, January 4th.  This is a work day for teachers to finalize second quarter report cards.  Students return to school on Tuesday, January 5th.
