Dear Kindergarten families,
I wish you all a blessed week! Here is all the information you and your child will need for the week of 11/21-11/25.
With flu and cold season, please be mindful of our class community and the spreading of germs.
Tuesday, 11/22- PE CLASS
As always, students must wear their complete PE uniform on Tuesday and bring a refillable water bottle. Not being in uniform or having a water bottle negatively impacts students’ PE grade.
Tuesday, 11/22 Kindergarten Friendsgiving party
We will have our Friendsgiving celebration on Tuesday at the brown benches. Thank you room parents and Mrs. Pavon for planning this event. Lunch is included and I have notified Alvarado Catering.
Wednesday, 11/23- Mass and NOON DISMISSAL
We have an All School Mass at 8 am. Students must wear their complete formal mass uniform. DISMISSAL IS AT NOON. Daycare will be offered till 3 pm that day.
Thursday 11/24 – FRIDAY 11/25 – THANKSGIVING BREAK
There is NO SCHOOL on Thursday and Friday in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. The school will resume on Monday, 11/28.
ADOPT A FAMILY SERVICE PROJECT (Nov-December)
We are adopting a special family- The Perez Family. They have been experiencing financial difficulties since the pandemic. We want to give them a memorable Christmas. This will require some sacrifice, but we will do it for Jesus. Jesus said, “Whatever you did for one of these least of mine, you did it for me.”
Learn more about the family and the family member or household items we have been assigned as a class. Open the Perez Family Profile. If you have time, please watch the 5-minute Adopt-a-Family video that summarizes this program.
Kindergarten is assigned to provide gifts, diapers and baby bottles, and clothing for Gayla, the Perez family’s eight month old baby who loves pink. Although Gayla is 8 months old, Mom is requesting 2T size clothing. Today in class, I shared information about the project and Gayla with the students. Please check the Sign-Up Genius for more of Gayla’s wish list and I hope we can fill the empty box in Kindergarten for Gayla. You can click on the Sign-up Genius to sign-up to buy a gift for your particular family member. Once signed up, you can go Christmas shopping!
Students are encouraged to go shopping with their parents and help wrap the gift. Challenge your child to make a sacrifice, if necessary: “I will ask for fewer presents for myself so that I can get a gift for Jessenia.” Click on the Instructions for Purchasing Gifts doc to review the guidelines- wrap it, label it and bring it to class.
