Gingerbread+House+Building

=Gingerbread House Building=

Friday, December 15th
Dear Parents, You are cordially invited to share in our 4K Christmas Celebration on Fri**day, December 15th, at St. Francis Borgia North Church Hall, from 12:45 until 3:00.** This will take the place of your child’s regular class time that day (both am and pm classes are together). Please bring your child directly to the **North church hall at 12:45 pm**. We will begin our celebration with building gingerbread houses. Each child with his/her parent/adult will create a beautiful and creative gingerbread house with the dozens of different fun, edible materials. Because this is a special activity for 4K kids and their parent(s), please make other arrangements for younger siblings. **Additional family may join us at 2:15 in the North church for our 3K/4K/5K Christmas song program** and refreshments immediately following in the church hall.

Each child will need at least one parent or significant other adult to attend with them on this day to help them build their gingerbread house. In order to have enough places set up, we will need to know who will be attending this event with your child. Please send us an email tenpennyc@sfbschool.o with this information.

To build our gingerbread houses, we will need some supplies donated and sent to school ahead of time for the event. Please see the list below of items we will need. **All items must be sent to school on or before Monday, December 11th**.
