and her helpers for hosting our Thanksgiving Celebration. The children enjoyed
eating the turkey, carrots, popcorn and cornbread. We appreciate all the
parents who sent in paper goods and food.
CHRISTMAS PLAY: The TYKERS will be
participating in the annual SSJ Christmas Play which will be held the evening
of December 18th.We will be singing “Joy to the World.” I will be sending home an angel costume for your
