Note to 8E

Please remember your stuff for the party

They are collecting toys tomorrow for the Transition House (battered women's shelter) for the kids who will be there over the Christmas break. If you have any toys or books in good condition or new which you would like to contribute, that would be great.

Remember your project on Terres Humides!

8D Christmas Party!

Tomorrow's our last day! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Please be reminded that our pot-luck will now start at 10:30 (ish) in the morning, so that we're finished in time for our noon dismissal - so bring your things with you in the morning -

Also, please don't forget your $5.00 donation to the Fredericton Food Bank - if you're doing the Christmas Angels activity, you should be bringing in $5.00 as well. Those of you who opted to not do the Angels are certainly welcome to bring a donation as well - it will be put to good use!

You will find out who your Angel is tomorrow, so don't forget to think of a way to thank them - a card or small treat is perfectly acceptable!

SEE YOU TOMORROW!
