We have a very short week! We will not have a letter of the week because of the short week. I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy being with family and friends!

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. We really enjoyed having Rhyan back in class for three days this past week! She was admitted back to the hospital on Thursday evening with mild case of pneumonia.

All the kids have been just amazing in class supporting Rhyan! Making cards, drawing pictures, praying and just treating Rhyan like a superstar and a friend, showing the natural love that kids have!

Important Dates:

Wednesday, November 25- Friday, November 27- No School- Thanksgiving Break

Sunday, December 13- Music Christmas Program (grades K-2^nd) 1:30-2:30 The kids will need to meet 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!
