 There are lots of assessments going on this week so please check the blog to make sure your child is ready. On Thursday we will be having our Christmas party. Please make sure to send in a wrapped, age-appropriate, classical book for a gift exchange. Tomorrow is the uniform free fundraiser if you choose to participate, and Thursday don't forget to wear your Christmas attire! It's going to be a busy week! Please let me know if you need anything. 😅
