December 2018

***PreK BEAR SHARE***

The PreKers are excited to share much of what they have learned about bears with parents, siblings, and extended family. Please set aside time on either Monday, December 17th or Tuesday, December 18th between 8:00 and 8:30 A.M. for an informal opportunity to come see many of the activities. The PreK Bear Share will be set up in our classroom, the Clark House foyer, and the STEAM Lab.  We hope to see all of you here!

***LORD & LADY OF LEVITY PROCLAMATION***  

Another TCS tradition is the Lord and Lady of Levity Proclamation. This proclamation informs the entire TCS community of the special theme for each day of the week leading up to the Holiday Program. Children are invited to dress according to each theme but please know that this is not mandatory and your child is free to dress up or not as he/she sees fit (with the exception of Friday). Printed in yesterday’s Little Hoot, it is copied below for your convenience.

Next week is the Week of Levity, when we bring light to the darkest time of the year.

Please help us celebrate this last academic week in 2018 by dressing up accordingly.

This year's Court will be announced at tomorrow's All School Meeting.

• Monday, 12/17 - Career Day
• Tuesday, 12/18 - PJ Day
• Wednesday, 12/19 - Sports Day
• Thursday, 12/20 - Holiday Sweater Day
• Friday, 12/21 - Dress up for the Holiday Concert

***READING BUDDY GIFTS***

The PreKers and 4th graders will be sharing some special time together before the holidays.  While we realize that there are some strong friendships between buddies, we ask that you please do not bring any gifts to school for Reading Buddies.  The PreKers are making cards for them as a way to extend their greetings and we feel that is enough.  We also do not want any hurt feelings that come about as a result of some children receiving gifts and others not receiving any. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
