SHOW & TELL: Two facts about the first Thanksgiving

Christmas Project: This year we are again going to raise money for ADRA in place of buying Christmas presents for each other here in our classroom. ADRA stands for Adventist Development and Relief Agency and works in many countries where help is needed. This special offering is being matched by other donors. Each $1.00 brought in by the children will equal $7.00 with the matching funds.
Quoting from the ADRA magazine—“Today, nearly 860,000 children under age 5 in Africa’s Sahel region are at risk of severe malnutrition. This is why there is not a moment to waste in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. By supporting ADRA’s efforts to provide food, you are not only giving a person the nourishment they need to thrive, but also setting them on a path of future success.”
On Friday, December 3, we want to have a cookie sale for our school to raise money for this project. Each cookie will sell for 25 cents. All proceeds from the sale will go to our ADRA fund.
On Friday, December 17, we will have stockings on a small Christmas tree where the children can deposit their offering. It’s exciting to count it and then multiply by 7 for the grand total.
Happy Birthday: In the next week both Miss Bennett and Alex have a birthday!
Warm Clothes: Please remind your student to bring a jacket to school on these cold days. Winter is fast approaching and gloves and hats would also be appropriate.
Thanksgiving Vacation: Remember our school will be out the whole week of Thanksgiving from November 22-26. Enjoy your time with your family.
