December Newsletter 2018
From the Director....
This is a very busy and special time of the year at Messiah Lutheran Preschool. During this season of Advent, we will be learning about the true meaning of Christmas and the children will be busy creating Christmas trees, stockings, wreaths, angels, etc. We hope you can stop by your child’s classroom to check out the festive artwork.
We are practicing hard for our Christmas Program that will take place on Wednesday, December 19th at 10:00am in the church. All children will participate. If your child attends school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you will receive additional information advising you when your child should arrive at school on the 19th. After the program we invite all our guests to join us in our school building for refreshments. The children will return to their classrooms to remove their costumes and will then be dismissed to their parents who will help them through the refreshment line in the gym. There will be Before Care and Lunch Bunch that day.
The School board will be praying for Preschool families at each monthly meeting. This month they will be praying for: the Jensen, Juvert, Kartali, Kendall, Kenny, Loughridge, Lebron, and,Letellier Families.
Have a Blessed Christmas!
Joan Brannan

CHAPEL OFFERING
Our chapel offering for December will be small stuffed animals (beanie baby size) that are new with the tags still on them. Volunteers from Messiah Lutheran Church will distribute these stuffed animals to the residents of the Carrollwood Center during their annual Christmas party.
Thank you so much for your support!
