I can't believe it's December but it must be because everyone is talking about that mischievous, little elf on the shelf! We are busy in class, prepping for Christmas crafts, practicing for the upcoming concert and enjoying a variety of holiday related activities.
*Just a reminder that you must have a ticket to attend the Christmas Concert (free for the day performance and $5 for the evening). This can be done via 'Eventbrite'. if you can't locate the email that was sent home from the office last Monday, you can locate the link by going to Dr. Saul's page on the Fairview website. Tickets are almost sold out!
*Please send a set of headphones/earbuds to to school if you have not already done so. We use these for a variety of purposes. Thank you!
*Thank you to the following people for signing up to send in snacks for our class party on Friday, December 20th:
Manjot (Fruit Plate)
Ryanna (Veggie Plate)

Students should bring a recess snack and lunch as usual on this day as we will be eating our party snacks later in the day. Thank you! Students are also welcome to wear their pyjamas to school that day :)

*Dr. Saul has been working hard with the students in preparation for our annual Christmas concert, students are asked to wear 'dress clothes' for their performance (something they would wear for Christmas or as though they were going to a special party-he has requested bow ties if you've got them). Please do not feel the need to purchase anything new, if your child doesn't have dress clothes they are welcome to wear whatever you would like to send them in.
