Dear parents,

I’m just re-posting the original email from Ms Alisha about the Christmas feast tomorrow, as a couple of you said that they missed the email. We have the South Kiva and will be eating at 11. Please don’t bring candy, soda or excessively sugary foods for the feast. There is also information about “Track it forward” at the bottom.

Thank you!

Hi parents!

I’m Alisha Coakley, the room parent for your child’s class this year! This is our first year at MMA so please be patient with me as I try to figure out how to do this well lol.

Our classroom holiday feast is going to be Wed, Dec 13th at 11 in the South Kiva. I’ve decided to have the theme be “Favorite Things” so please bring your child’s favorite dish and/or drink to share with others. Yes, this is going to be a schmorgusboard of randomness but I thought it’d be fun for the kids. Some ideas would be pizza, cereal, cheetos, celery with pb…anything your child loves to consume! 

We are going to have a fun activity and I’m hoping a small service activity as well (I’m thinking of making holiday cards for the veteran’s home, placemats for Meals on Wheels or maybe pics for the local children’s home) I’m still waiting to hear back from a few places before deciding, but as soon as I know, I’ll let you know. I’d like to stay away from anything that involves donations. If you have any ideas that could be done for cheap during our feast, please feel free to text me at 239-810-7654.

As a side note, I’m also the VP on the MAPA board this year and would like to encourage everyone to take a minute to sign up for Track It Forward. This is the new program we’ll be using to not only track volunteer hours (40 per year per family) but to also take the place of wejoinin (or whatever that thing is called). If you do this, every student in your family will receive a free ticket for the Box Top Store Dec 20th. Just go to www.trackitforward.com/site/Mapa
