Angel Tree Update: It is with immense gratitude and love that we thank you for the overwhelming generosity shown with this year's Angel Tree. Please see the photo attached (Digital Take Home Folder) which shows all of the presents donated and the love shown to ensure everyone has a gift under the tree this season. The kind spirit shown by our families never ceases to amaze us and when the Salvation Army came to collect, they had tears in their eyes. Again, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Christmas Concerts: Attached is a poster with the dates for the CG Christmas Concerts for 2024. Grs. 1-3 will be rehearsing the morning of their concert (December 10th) and Grs. 3-6 will be doing the same (December 11th). Classes will be invited to watch the rehearsals. Classroom teachers will supervise their classes the evening of the concerts. Doors will open at 5:30 pm so that the concerts can begin promptly at 6:00 pm. Our class does not have anything specific that we need to wear for their performance such as a costume. Students are invited to dress up and look their best. Our song is "CG is Coming to Town" and is not a Christmas song; we wanted all of our classmates to be able to participate. Students have been practicing everyday and even the actions were created by students. Students are encouraged to continue practicing at home throughout the week (see Digital Take Home Folder). We hope to see you all at the concert!
Popcorn Day: Popcorn days are back on for the year and have been set by the Fundraising Association. Please note the following:
- Not all days are on Friday.
- There is no online payment for popcorn. Students can bring $2 to their classroom teachers.
- Students are welcome to pay for the full year in advance rather than trying to remember to pay each time. The remaining popcorn dates will be January 10th, February 6th, March 21st, April 3rd, May 23rd, and June 13th. There are 6 dates remaining. To pay for all dates, please send a total of $12 with your student.
The next Popcorn Day will be Friday, January 10th. Please send $2 to your student's teacher by Thursday, January 9th to order popcorn.
