I can’t believe it’s one and a half weeks left before Thanksgiving. As we remember to be thankful for all that we are blessed with, please remember to send in your donations for the National Junior Honor Society food drive to help out those less fortunate. Our contribution is diapers, baby wipes, and baby food. Donations are being collected until Thursday, November 18th. As we strive to keep everyone safe, please remember to complete the daily attestations each morning prior to coming to school.
This week we will focus on what Thanksgiving means. We will talk about what it means to be thankful, our favorite foods to eat during Thanksgiving, and the life cycle of a turkey. We will continue to work on our fall crafts and crafts for our Thanksgiving celebration. Our celebration will be on Tuesday, November 23rd. The children will enjoy a Thanksgiving feast provided by Trinity, followed by deserts graciously donated by you, followed by our Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. You are invited to walk with your child as we raise money for the charity Long Island Cares.
We have started practicing for our Christmas Program. I hope the children are singing away at home the songs that they have learned so far. I’m very excited for our Christmas Program and the week before our winter break. We have so many fun activities in store! Our Christmas Program will be Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at 10:00 am in the Chapel.
We will talk about what it means to be thankful and what it means to love Jesus. We will continue with our thankful prayer this week:
Thank you for the world so sweet. Thank you for the food we eat. Thank you for the birds that sing. Thank you God, for everything. Amen.
