Welcome to Kindergarten

We are beginning the final two full weeks of school before Christmas vacation! There are many fun activities planned, as well as extra practices for the Christmas Concert. It's a joy seeing the excitement in the children's faces waiting for that special day to come.
 

Upcoming News  

The Christmas Concert is this Wednesday evening, December 11^th, and begins at 7:00pm. Please bring your child to the classroom at 6:30pm, no earlier please. The dress code for the concert is the school uniform.  The children can dress up their uniforms with Christmas accessories. After the children perform, they will come back to their classroom in the school. To avoid any confusion, the children will be released at the end of the concert. Please stay and enjoy the entire concert as the school doors will be locked and reopened at the end of the concert. They will be waiting for you to pick them up there so we can avoid any confusion. The children are doing a wonderful job with the musical selections they are singing! We are sure they can’t wait for you to see their performance.

Please help support our Sports Program by purchasing coupons that enable your child to dress down on specified days throughout the year. The donation is $15.00 for seven days or $3.00 per dress-down day. The money allows the school to purchase new sporting equipment, uniforms and first aid kits as needed. The children (and teachers too!) enjoy wearing "regular clothes" to school occasionally, and the donations go to a very important program in our school!

Sports Dress Down Day is this Tuesday, December 10^th. Please send the coupon or $3.00 in your child’s folder if you are participating in this fundraiser.

Spruce Up For Spring is the basket theme for our kindergarten class. Only ten families have contributed to this fundraiser. A donation of one item ($5.00 to $10.00) would be greatly appreciated. Suggested items are: gloves, Windex, Pine-sol, mop, Swiffer, dusters sponges, etc. The donation deadline was November 26^th. Please bring in your items immediately if you have not done so already. Thank you in advance.

The Saint Cecilia School Christmas Hot Lunch is on Friday, December 20^th at 11:00am in the Church Hall. The price is $7.00 per student, which includes 1 slice of pizza, a juice box, dessert, and a presentation by Keith Munslow. An extra slice of pizza is $1.00. If you choose not to get a hot lunch, the price for the presentation is $3.00. Please return your form with cash or check (payable to St. Cecilia School) by December 13^th.

The cost for the event is: adults-$10.00, children under 12-$6, and families (2 adults and children under 12)-$30.00. Tickets will be available at the school office.

We are a nut-free classroom. Foods containing  peanuts or tree nuts are  not allowed. No morning snacks or birthday treats can contain these products. Thank you for understanding.

We participate in the Scholastic Book Program.  Many of you are very aware of Scholastic Books because you have older children who have attended or who are attending St. Cecilia School. If this is your first experience, we would like to encourage you to consider building your child's library. It is a fairly inexpensive way to purchase books and it also supports our classroom library. When you purchase books, we get  "points," which enable us to receive books for the classroom. Ordering these books is easily done online. The easiest and best method of payment is credit or debit card right on the Scholastic Website. We will receive notification when you place an order and will be watching for your books to arrive at school.  Thank you in advance for supporting an important part of our kindergarten year. Here is an easy link to the website.   www.scholastic.com   Our classroom code is H3CW8.

St. Cecilia School is participating in a fundraising program called Scrip Pro. It really is an easy, convenient way to shop. If you usually purchase gift cards as gifts, consider purchasing gift certificates through this program. For every gift certificate you buy, a percentage of the sale goes to St. Cecilia School. For all details, please refer to the Scrip Pro flyer. This definitely is a win/win situation for everyone.

Please consider joining the A+ School Rewards Program from Stop & Shop. St. Cecilia School earns cash for every purchase you make throughout the year. Just log on to  www.stopandshop.com/aplus  and register online using your Stop & Shop Card. If you registered last year, you do not need to register again this year.  The registration code for St. Cecilia School is #08933.  Please encourage all your family and friends to register too! It is a great way to support our school!

St. Cecilia School will continue to participate in the  Box Tops for Education  program. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10 cents and they quickly add up to real cash. To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school in a baggie with your child's name and grade on it.
