Sunday, December 13- Music Christmas Program (grades K-2^nd) 1:30-2:30 The kids will need to be in their classroom at 1:00.

Your child will have a part in the program, some will dress up and others will have a small speaking part with 2 or 3 other kids. For the speaking parts, I sent home a sheet on Friday with what your child will say. Please help your child to read this or memorize the short part. If this is your first Christmas program at OLLIS, the kids dress nicely, church clothes, some choose to wear Christmas outfits.

Tuesday, December 15- Field Trip to State Farm to sing Christmas songs to State Farm employees with our Partner In Education, Brian Hazelrigg. For the field trip, the kids may wear their uniform pants, and a Christmas shirt, they may also wear a Santa’s hat or reindeer antlers. Thank you for sending back the permission forms so quickly! I feel so lucky because we had so many parents who volunteered to drive to State Farm! I will let you know by the end of the week who will drive to State Farm. Thank you again for the great support!

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. Rhyan is now home after being in the hospital this past week for chemo treatments. If you would like to follow the updates on Rhyan, they set up a site on Caring Bridges or on Face Book, RallyForRhyan.
