Book Reports – The class is doing a great job with their book reports. We are enjoying telling and hearing about the books that were read!
Christmas Program – 1st through 4th grade will have our Christmas program, Angel’s Aware, on Thursday, December 14th at 6:30 pm. Students are to wear a white top, and white pants/skirt, and girls are to wear white leggings. If you do not have white pants or a skirt, please wear khaki. Students are to arrive in the classroom at 6:15. Parents will pick up their students from the classroom after the program.
Dinner Before Christmas Program – The 8th grade will serve spaghetti dinner with dessert before the Christmas programs on December 14th and 19th. We will begin at 5:00 pm so everyone can get their children to the classrooms on time. Bring your entire family and relax with your HLS family as you prepare to celebrate our Savior’s birth at the Christmas program. A free-will offering will be accepted. All proceeds will go toward the 2024 Washington, D.C. trip. More details about the menu will come home in Thursday folders.
We will have special dress-up days for the week of December 18th – 20th
Monday 12/18 – Wear Ugly Christmas Sweaters with uniform bottoms
Tuesday 12/19 – Wear Christmas PJ’s
Wednesday 12/20 – Wear Christmas t-shirt & Socks with uniform bottoms
Next week – We will not have any spelling words or memory work for next week. We will be focused on Christmas activities and projects as well as finishing up book report presentations. The class had earned a movie and popcorn with behavior points, so we will watch a Christmas movie next Tuesday afternoon.
Hot Chocolate Sale – Student Council will be selling Hot Chocolate on Tuesday, December 19th, from 7:45 am – 8:25 am. The students can buy regular hot chocolate for $1.00 or supreme hot chocolate for $3.00, including hot chocolate, marshmallows, and a candy cane. What a great way to start a cold morning!
Christmas Party – Our party will be on Wednesday, Dec 20. We will be doing something a little different for our class gift exchange in class this year. Instead of drawing names (since we have had so many days in a row with kids absent), I am asking that each student bring in a pair of crazy, fun socks, wrapped as a gift. (They can be Christmas socks if you want, but they can be any fun socks to wear on Fridays!) We will be exchanging them in a fun activity at our party.
I am including information for the week after Christmas break since next week will be a short week.
I encourage all of the kids to work on their multiplication facts over break. Do keep on reading. You can keep track of minutes read in the calendar section of the assignment book.

Memory for January 4 is the Lord’s Prayer.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen
I hope that you find joy in worshiping our Lord, wherever you are. There are many worship opportunities here at Hope over the holidays too. We would love for you to join us in worship of the Infant King!
