Our

parents for putting together this annual event. Here are important
details for Monday.
•Three 5th Grade helpers will arrive in Pre-K-2nd Grade classrooms at or around 7:45.
•Students who sing in Deborah, Kris and Adams’ choirs should go to the Chapel at 7:45.
They should arrive early, come to the classroom first, drop off backpacks, then go to the Chapel with their Giving Chapel bag.
Parents should escort children. If they can’t, please have assistants walk students up.
Some
students may arrive a bit later on the bus. Assistants, David and Lyn
should be available to escort these students to the Chapel.
Be sure to complete attendance before attending Giving Chapel
•Specialists,
if you can, come to Chapel early to join our carolers (parents and
specialist carolers, grab a festive red scarf and song sheets on the
table in the narthex, sing at the front of the chapel, students to join
in as they wait in the pews)
