Important Information
*We are in need of a few things for the Girls Gala this Thursday. Do you have any children’s magazines we could reuse? How about a chair massager or foot soak? We promise to take great care of them...let us know if you wouldn’t mind us borrowing them for the day.
*Thanks so much for all of the interest in Husky Helping House. Please send in your unwrapped donations for Jose by Friday, December 7th. We are still in need of gift boxes, wrapping paper, and bows. If you have any to spare, please send those items in by Friday.
* This month’s MegaSkill is CARING. Let’s show we care about others by performing one random act of kindness every Friday in December. Be sure to leave the “You’ve been RACKed note.” (see attachment – I will also send one home on Fri.) Here are a few ideas:
-pay for the order behind you in a fast food drive-through
-purchase a cup of hot cocoa for the Salvation Army bell ringers
-bake something special to give to a friend or neighbor
-write a note to someone special in your life telling him/her why he/she is so special to you
-tape candy canes to ATM machines
-tape a quarter to a toy machine
*The 1st grade class is participating in the annual Husky Holiday Sing-Along! First graders are going to lead the school in singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! For added fun, we’ve decided to dress like Rudolph. Please help your child buy, find, or make reindeer antlers to wear to school on Tuesday, December 18th. Children will be allowed to wear their reindeer antlers all day. I have red pompoms to use for the noses and we will attach them with sticky dots. We are really looking forward to this exciting event! (Helpful hint: I’ve seen these at the Dollar Tree and Target Dollar Spot already this year.)
