December music classes were filled with Christmas cheer! We rang our jingle bells and sang lots of holiday favorites including Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and put a holiday spin on "Rudolph" Hokey-Pokey. Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Christmas Celebration and Sing-Along! In January we will start exploring musical instruments and listening games. I look forward to making music with your children in the New Year!

Welcome to the New Year St. David's Families!
We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas with family time and maybe even relaxed a bit! Now that winter is here, please make sure you send hats and gloves with your children to school. If the temperature is at least 32 degrees, the classes do go outside!
Finally, please be sure you are familiar with our Inclement Weather Policy. We follow the Loudoun County Public School's decisions on closings and late start times. We will have a note on the church website, Facebook and on our voice mail regarding any changes from our normal schedule. |

e
to 2018! As we look to this New Year, we are reminded how much we can learn from children. Their defa

Speaking of opening our hearts and minds....January is the time of year we open our doors and hearts to new families. We begin tours and the registration process for the 2018-2019 school year. Please look carefully at the dates and times in this newsletter, as registration is beginning soon! We also ask that you share these dates with friends. Our families are our best advertisement. As always, feel free to stop by and say hello! Our door is always open.
