Christmas Gift Exchange

For gift exchange in first grade, boys need to bring a boy’s toy and girls need to bring a girl’s toy. Please keep in mind when purchasing gifts that the students are given time to play with their new toys in class after gifts are opened. If your child would like to exchange a gift, please send it to school by the morning of Wednesday, December 16.
