School Happenings...
It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through the school year! Here’s a brief recap of some of our Fall highlights. In October, the preschoolers celebrated with a special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” movie and craft event. At the end of the month the class participated in a masquerade parade and party.  November brought “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” movie and activity. In the library, Ladel Comfort Dog and Mrs. Deb Andersen joined the preschoolers for story time and activities. December was overflowing with activities and events, starting with Breakfast with Santa! Santa made the long journey to St Matthew to help usher in the Christmas season. Everyone enjoyed a morning of fun, food, shopping, and chatting with Santa. We had “A Charlie Brown Christmas” event featuring the movie, snacks, crafts, and cookie decorating. The preschoolers enjoyed a Happy Birthday Jesus Celebration with their families. The morning began with a very special Christmas Chapel Service, led by Pastor Kinne. The children did an outstanding job singing, accompanied by Mr. Michael Gagne, on the piano. Afterward, everyone enjoyed a luncheon. We look forward to more fun in 2019!
