The children have been discussing possible celebrations and activities they would like to experience this season. They have elected to have a small soup and bread feast, along with a secret gift giving activity for the 20th. Students will receive a lights celebration assignment to look up and create a small presentation. They can work with the other person assigned to that celebration or they can work alone. They will have some time in class too. Students will present these on the 19th!

They also will be assigned their secret gift giving student. Please keep the cost below $10 and simple gifts are usually the best. On the day of the event, we will bake and have several activities in the morning, then eat our feast mid-day and wrap up with some relevant reading and gift giving in the afternoon. We need hot chocolate, peppermint sticks, soup, and bread roll donations. Anyone who wishes to help with this, please contact me at sellis@mariamontessoriacademy.org or Jen Noyes at noyesbush@msn.com. The children are super excited! Help us make this wonderful!
