December News
Where has 2009 gone! It seems like only weeks ago school started. Our theme for December is "The Gifts of Christmas!" We will be focusing on the three different gifts the wisemen brought to Jesus. What a wonderful time of year. Even though it is a very busy time of year for all of us, we should try and slow down and remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Please remember to dress your child for the weather as we will continue to go outside unless it is below 50 degrees or the weather is inclement. This month we are asking for baby clothes and diapers for the Hamilton Christian Family Center. You can drop off donations downstairs by the preschool office.
