Secret Santas
Students are participating in Secret Santas within our classroom only. Some opted to not participate. We will reveal our Secret Santa on Thursday. Those who are leaving early will “reveal” the day before they leave. This should NOT be a big expense. I stressed just giving clues throughout the week and on the reveal day to just give a candy cane or some such item.

White Elephant Christmas Gift
On Thursday, we will have a little gift exchange, of the White Elephant nature. I gave an example of someone wrapping up a toothbrush. Keep it simple, and if possible, cheap! J The sillier the gift, the more fun it is.
***A reminder to parents of 6th graders from Sherry Ross ***
I need to get a digital copy of the following pictures of your child:
· a baby picture
· a kindergarten picture
· a 6th grade picture
If you have any misc pictures from last year or this year in Mrs. Porisch’s class, please send those, too.
The yearbook that Poly does for the graduating 6th graders is really neat! Please call me if you have any questions. Keep taking pictures... I will need LOTS!
