We hope you can join us on Thursday, December 14th from 12 - 1 p.m. We will be sharing a few songs with you and then we will enjoy a potluck together in the gym. This will include our class and KA. The 3 other Kindergarten classes (KB, KC & KE) will have their potluck on Wednesday, December 13th from 12 - 1 p.m.
This December John McCrae is running a Used Toy Collection and Sale. We are accepting gently used toys, books, craft supplies, movies and stuffed animals from December 5th to 13th. Please send any items your family wishes to contribute to school with your child. An upper year student from our school will be around to collect donated toys each morning. If you have a larger donation there is a box outside the office where donations may be dropped off. December 14th to 16th John McCrae students will be encouraged to purchase items that have been donated (at a cost of 50 cents to $5. 00). All proceeds from this sale will be contributed towards families in need, in our community. We welcome any contributions your family can make to our school!
Scholastic book orders are due on Thursday, December 8th. If you would like to order items as a gift, just let us know and we will let you know when they've arrived (instead of sending them home with your child).
Some families like to give gifts to teachers at the holidays. Please know that there is no need to give us gifts, nor do we expect them. If you would like, you are welcome to give gifts to the classroom (e.g. pencil crayons, high quality art supplies, gift cards to various stores: dollar store, grocery, hardware, art, bookstores, etc. so we can buy special materials for class). Another idea is to make a donation to charity of your choice. We also appreciate cards and art made by the children.
