SCHOOL RESUMES ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 3RD
Holidays and Traditions Day - On December 23rd, in the morning, we will be having our Holidays and Traditions celebration. As this is a celebration of many different cultures, we are looking for parents who would be willing to come to the school in the morning and share their "holiday traditions and stories" with the children. The children rotate throughout the morning to various activities. This would be one of their "stops" throughout the morning. If you can only come for a part of the morning, that is ok too! The more participants we have the more the children learn about various customs throughout our school community!! Please contact Stacy Palladino ([email protected]) if you would like to participate or would like more information about your responsibilities for this activity!
January Enrichment – The next Enrichment session will be Fridays in January (1/6, 1/13, 1/20, 1/27), 2:45 to 3:45 PM. Classes are $15 each and you can choose either Let‟s Create or Wild Science. To sign up, contact [email protected] for an enrollment form. Click here for more info on the HSA website.
Mother/Son Bowling – Please join us on Sunday January 22nd from 4 to 6 PM at Boonton Lanes for Mother/Son Bowling! (An aunt, grandmother or other adult female is fine, too!) Log into MySchoolAnywhere at https://www.myschoolanywhere.com, and go to the Store link to register. Cost is $26 total for adult and child and includes pizza and soda. Deadline for signup is Friday December 30th, so that we can reserve enough lanes.
Tricky Tray Reminders – Our Tricky Tray is March 9, 2017 at the Venetian in Garfield. More info about ticket sales to come! In the meantime, our planning committee is collecting awesome prizes and needs your help! As you are shopping for the holidays, or going through the holiday „stuff‟ we all collect, please consider donating items you cross across. In particular, we are collecting baskets, buckets, containers & frames, or any new, unopened item like a kitchen or household item, toy, etc. All donations are much appreciated! Own a business & want to donate?! Or, will your place of employment support us by making a basket, monetary or gift card donation? Please contact Sheila O‟Neill ([email protected]) if you would like to help.
