We proved to our Hawks that Santa does exist. He lives in the hearts of so many wonderful people around us. Thank you to the Peña Family for making our Christmas the most memorable ever.
Parents: Please make sure you sign and return a permission slip that will go home soon. All our Hawks will be loading buses next Tuesday and will be going on a shopping trip to Five Below. The Peña Family will be there and will hand each student a $20 bill so they can buy themselves items of their choice.
Headstart students will not be going on the trip but they will be treated to a pizza party on campus.
Our children are so very special and we are so happy that they will be having a special Christmas.

Padres: Por favor, asegúrese de firmar y devolver un formulario de permiso que se enviará a casa pronto. Todos nuestros Hawks subirán a los autobuses el próximo martes e irán de compras a Five Below. La familia Peña estará allí y entregará a cada estudiante un billete de $ 20 para que puedan comprarse los artículos de su elección.
Los estudiantes de Headstart no participarán en el viaje, pero serán invitados a una fiesta de pizza en el campus.
Nuestros hijos son muy especiales y estamos muy felices de que tengan una Navidad especial.
