Good News and Potluck on the Horizon!

 Congratulations to last week's Good News ticket winners:  Eric, Tori, and Brooke.  Keep up the great work!

 As you know, we have been collecting coins for the Christmas dinner that is held on Christmas Day at the Downtown Mission.  As of Friday afternoon, our class had already collected $87. 29.  Since one dinner costs $3.11, we can already feed 28 people!  That is fantastic!  We will continue to collect until Wednesday of this week.

Everyone has signed up for the potluck that we will have tomorrow and we have a great selection of menu items.  We have the promise of many delicious main dish items including:  meatballs, chicken, homemade pizza, sloppy Joes, and chili.  We will have side dishes such as rice, noodles, chips and salsa, chips and guacamole, and bruschetta.  There will be crackers and buns to eat with the chili, and cheese and crackers for another side.  We have many different beverages and desserts too!  I am supplying all of the plates, bowls, napkins, cutlery, and table clothes.  We do not have anything from the fruit and vegetable group, however.  If parents are bringing warm items to school just in time for the lunch, please bring the item at 12 noon.  We plan to eat in the Learning PIT.  If the items arrive in the morning, they will be refrigerated as needed.  If you would like serving spoons and/or platters returned, please make sure that your family name is clearly marked on it for easy identification.  Thank you so much in advance!
Please note:  In addition, Tuesday will also be pyjama day and we will be watching the movie "Elf".  We will be completing three earned incentives in the same day!
