Hello everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped out with costumes for our Christmas concert.  We still have need of a Penguins jersey or two so if you have one, can we please borrow it for the performances?

Tomorrow morning is the dress rehearsal for the concert.  We will begin right after attendance/announcements so please be at school and on time.  Our first concert is tomorrow afternoon, starting at 1:15.  This is an actual concert and we need everyone in costume.  All grade 7/8's who do not have specific costumes need to be in neutral coloured clothing; no bright colours or logos please.  You are supposed to look like old time villagers so plain brown, beige, or grey is best.

The evening concert starts at 7:00 pm.  Students should be at school, in their classrooms by 6:30 pm.  Please bring something quiet to occupy your time in the classroom as there will be no running around between classes.  Cell phones will not be allowed.

Secret Santa starts on Friday.  Make sure to have your first gift here at school for your person on that day.  Remember, it's a secret - don't spoil it for anyone.  Also, gingerbread houses are being made on Monday.  Please see the following letter to remind you of what you need.
