January 5-9
Parents,
I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your generosity and kindness. I received a beautiful poinsettia plant with a monetary gift that left me speechless! I am incredibly overwhelmed and feel so very blessed to have your child in my class. I can not believe that the school year is already halfway over, but I am so excited to see what the second half of this year has in store for us.
As we prepare for the birth of our savior, let us remember to keep the real reason for the season in our hearts. Sometimes the rush and craziness get in the way of remembering what Christmas is all about. So, while we are on break, please remember to have lots of fun and enjoy as much time with your family as possible! I hope you and your loved ones have a very blessed Christmas and that 2026 will be filled with grace, love, and peace.
Yours in Christ,
Aline Kiffe
