Book Exchange

~Winter Party~

On Friday, December 18th, (our last day of school before vacation), we will be having a little party at school!

The day will consist of wrapping gifts, the all school "Sing-a-Long," a book exchange and a movie (with treats).

I am asking your child to buy a book for the book exchange, keeping the expenses at no more that $5-$10 total. I want to emphasize the joy of giving to others, not expense. Please do not spend over $10. I would like each book to be "student" wrapped. :0) Please do no send the gifts (books) before Thursday, Dec. 17th.

I love teaching your children and look forward to having a wonderful time celebrating with each other!

Happy Holidays from Mrs. Koenig
