December Reading Incentive Program Please return the DECEMBER calendar by Monday, January 6. Thanks so much! During the month of December, the children will be encouraged to read at their personal level(assignments given in Reading Goals). YOUR CHILD'S GOAL: 20 minutes/5 times a week. A reading calendar can be found in your child's Take Home Folder. Please sign in the date box every time your child has a "reading experience" this month. Please leave the calendar in the folder for the entire month, so it is easy to view your child's reading progress. For every day that they participate in our reading program, they will receive a Happy Camper buck to fill their classroom wallet. These Happy Camper bucks can be used in our "classroom store" at the end of the month. | |||

Christmas Eve Recitations and Songs 2024 This year's Christmas Eve Service is titled, "Carols of Christmas". Your child will be asked to learn specific Bible passages to recite in a group. There will also be a class song, hymns and an all school anthem. When possible, please spend time practicing and reviewing these parts with your child. We do practice the recitations in school, but extra reinforcement from home is greatly appreciated! Watch the Memory Treasures site each week to learn when each song or recitation will be said or sung. ..More Information | |||
