December 13th to December 17th
Our class will go on a bowling field trip on Wednesday, December 15th. You can send your child with money if they would like to buy a snack at the bowling alley. We will still have lunch when we return.
On Friday, December 17th, the students will go to the Tivoli movie theater to see the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This trip will be in place of a holiday party.
Don't forget about our Holiday Service Drive. We are looking for donations such as new toys, new games, toiletries, and food for the needy families in the Darien area. All donations are due on Monday, December 13. Thank you for opening up your hearts to help make the holidays a happy one for those who are less fortunate.
