*Correction*

Hi all again. Just wanted to tell you that I made the bonehead mistake of announcing that Intensives are beginning next week. In fact they are the week of the 14th. I apologize for the miscommunication. But this does mean that if any family members are interested in leading and Intensive class, we have more time to plan. Once again, sorry about the mistake.

Bringing In The Light

As many know, we will be having our first Performance Night on December 11th at 6:00pm at Trillium. We will be featuring 4 varied acts and it will be a blast. More details will come soon as to when students should arrive for preparations the night of.

Our theme this year is A Celebration of The Winter Solstice. One focus will be on bringing in light on these dark, cold days of winter. Brian came up with a spectacular idea of allowing each child if they choose to bring in their own light to share with our community. What this means is students may bring in some type of light (non-flame) next week and as part of our celebration we will light them at once to brighten our school (and hopefully not short out the whole building). Anything from electric tea candle lights to Christmas lights are welcome. We are asking that no one brings any lights with sentimental value as they may end up going missing or broken. Can't wait to see you all there!

Morning Mystery Word:

HSEORT

Next week are INTENSIVES. These classes are like elective blocks. There will be a list of selections on Friday – in the past we have had: hiking, building fairy houses, making puppets, computer games and more. You will choose three and you’ll get one of these three.

Parents can teach the intensives, so contact Whitney, Polly (kindergarten teacher) or Mary Drinkhouse, if you are interested in teaching something.

We will have intensives at the end of the school year as well.
