Dear Parents,
Let the Christmas celebrations begin as our students use their talents to praise our God tonight,
Monday, December 9, at the annual Elementary Christmas Concert at 7:00 pm at Christ Church at Grove Farm.
Be sure to arrive early and visit the Winter Art Show in the cafe from 6:00-7:00 to see students' artwork.
We would love to have your family, friends, and neighbors join us!
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests
. Luke 2:14
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bordo

Christmas Clothing Reminder
As Christmas approaches, Eden rejoices in this joyous time of the year and enthusiastically celebrates and emphasizes the birth of Jesus Christ. Activities and symbols which compliment these are prominent in our classrooms while myths and symbols that compete with these, such as Santa Claus, elves, or reindeer, are not emphasized.
We ask that students refrain from wearing clothing with a focus on Santa or elves.
|
|
|
|
Recess and Cooler Weather
We will continue to go outside for recess in the cooler weather.
Please be sure that your child has the appropriate clothing - jacket, hat, gloves, scarf.
|
|
|
|
Health Reminder
If your child has been ill, please remember that they should be
fever free for 24 hours before returning to school
.
