Dear Families,
Blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving season as we celebrate God’s goodness to us. His mercies are new every morning!!! Have a wonderful, memory making day with those you love.
Thanksgiving Celebration– Our Thanksgiving Blessing afternoon is Monday, November 24th.Our festivities will start at 1:15 PM, after PE. This is a change from our previously stated time. We will be making a “Blessing Mix”, doing a craft and having a treat. Many thanks for your help in making memories with these precious children.
Carrington Pointe – We will be going to sing Christmas carols for the residents on Thurs, Dec. 11th at 10:00 AM. We will need several parent helpers to safely walk to their facility. This will bring great joy to these precious, often forgotten seniors. It will also be a wonderful lesson for our children that we are to serve and minister to others. It should be a special blessing for all.
Thanksgiving Program- The big day is almost here!!!!! First Graders are the Pilgrims and the Kindergartners are the Indians. Second Graders will be Americans. Please wear dark pants or skirt and a white shirt. The girls could wear a black dress as well. Please don’t go out and buy anything special, just wear what is the closest to what you have. The program will be on Tuesday, November 25th at 10:45 AM at SMC Main. Bring your cameras and get there early for a good seat!!!!!
Work Envelopes – All of our Thanksgiving theme work will be coming home in the envelopes on Monday, Nov. 24th. For some of the students there will be papers that did not get finished, or in some cases not even started. We were doing many varied assignments and there is a vast difference in how quickly some accomplish tasks. These papers do not need to be finished and returned unless it says “Do”
Together We CAN Food Drive – Once again (over the last 11 years; previously called Red Buckets) we have the privilege to help the families of Pinedale this holiday season! We will be collecting CANned foods Nov. 17th thru Dec. 9th to distribute through the Pinedale Book Buddies program. Our students are already volunteering as Book Buddies at Pinedale elementary school and we would like to continue our support for their programs. Our delivery this year will help families by providing food for Christmas.If you are interested in making a financial donation, please send cash/check to the office and designate “Food – Pinedale.” We have a program with Food Maxx where we use scrip and S.H.A.R.E.S. so FCS also benefits! If you have any questions, please contact Rob Foshee at rfoshee@fresnochristian.com. The “Red Bucket” outside our classroom is for our food donations.
Elementary Christmas Program –Be sure to mark your calendars for the Elementary Christmas Program on Tuesday, December 9th in the Peoples Church Sanctuary starting at 7:00 PM. This will be a dress-up evening for the children in their Christmas Holiday Best! We look forward to a beautiful evening for all of your family and friends!! Watch for a flyer coming soon!!!
