Secret Santa: This Week!

Secret Santa week is officially here!

Last week, children chose a name out of a Santa hat and learned who they would be a Secret Santa for- such fun! They also received a helpful note with their person's favorite things listed out to help spark gift ideas.

Throughout this upcoming week your children will leave small handmade gifts, treats, or notes for their chosen person. Parents are encouraged to remind their child to deliver a little something. 

Friday December 16th

10 a.m.

Secret Santa Final Gift Exchange

12 p.m- ish.

Finger Food Festival

1:45 p.m.

Music Fest with Holiday Singalong

On Friday morning, each Secret Santa will bring a final wrapped & name tagged handmade gift or treat. Label the gift with the GIVERS name ( not the recipient..this is a change ) ! and each participant will try to guess who their Secret Santa gifts were from. Santa will help present these gifts and prompt guessing for who each child's secret Santa is.

Parents are invited to join us for the any of the above festivities from 10 a.m. on, and children can be dismissed to their parents at any point in the afternoon so long as cubbies are cleaned out and the lost and found clothing pile has been looked through! Parents are also encouraged to help clean up after the Finger Food Fest/take down decorations and trees.

Can't wait for this fun annual tradition to get underway!

The Riley Children's Fund

Annual Goal: $50,000

We're halfway through the year and a little less than halfway to our annual goal. This holiday season help us give the gift of an affordable progressive education to the children of midcoast Maine via a tax deductible donation!

Please remember that EVERY child at Riley benefits from The Riley Children's Fund!!

Every child, whether full pay or discounted, is supported by this fund as our tuition cost before aid is still $1200 less than what it actually costs for a child to attend Riley. Every gift makes a significant difference and sends a message of support to our faculty, to our Board, and to additional outside funders. These annually requested donations are essential dollars that help bridge the gap between what Riley charges and what Riley costs.

We ask each of you to consider ways you can bridge that- a tax deductible donation, a contribution of essential skills, or leadership in a fundraising event.

Thank you!

Elf JR. The Musical

Go see many of our children in this performance!

Oceanside High School presents “Elf Jr. The Musical” Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, Dec. 14, 15 and 17, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m.

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic features plenty of large ensemble numbers with every young performer embracing their “inner elf.”

Tickets on sale at the door are $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and students. For more information, call 207-596-2010.
