Fabulous Fourth Grade will have their Christmas party on Friday, December 17, 2010 from 12:30-2:30 pm. This year the fourth grade students have an opportunity to create and decorate Gingerbread Houses in class during this time. The supplies for individual kits including the gingerbread, candy, frosting and materials can cost up to $20 per student. The students will create one each and bring them home on the final day of school for you to enjoy over Christmas vacation. Rather than asking for donations of cupcakes, treats, goodie bags, gifts, etc., we are asking for $10 per student to participate in this great classroom project. A demonstration will be given and students will be taught techniques on how to best assemble and decorate their own creations.
I am purchasing the supplies as a group and ask for you to send in $10 per student in cash or a check made out to Mrs. Schemenauer before December 17th. I am so excited for students at OLA to experience this great opportunity. I have done this project with 3rd grade students in the past and they had a terrific time. Please note again that you do not need to send in any donated food items or supplies on the final day of school as the money provided will cover all costs for the party. I hope the students can enjoy these scrumptious treats throughout the Christmas vacation instead of spending money for treats that would be eaten up in just one afternoon in class. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me by sending in a note with your child or through my email address.
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Schemenauer
