Countdown to Christmas Holidays

Now that report cards have gone home, we have time to turn our attention to the many fun activities coming up over the next two weeks.  Our Parent Advisory Council is such a great group of volunteers.  They have organized some very cool events for our students.  First up is PAC Gift Day, something unique to David Cameron School (I certainly haven't seen it anywhere else).  This is a great opportunity for families to donate items from their homes that are then sold back to our students at very low prices.  This way, the kids get a chance to do their Christmas Shopping here at school and have their presents tagged and wrapped when they leave.  Following gift day is our annual visit from Santa.  He will visit each of our classes and bring the students a Christmas Orange.  The expressions on some of our students faces are priceless when the jolly man shows up.

This year, Mrs. Garry, our music teacher, has put together a great evening program for families to come and enjoy.  Each of our classes will be performing a couple of Christmas related songs, as well as our very own David Cameron Christmas Choir.  This event (on December 17), will be a great way to kick-off our holidays.  The concert will be followed the next day with our school sing-a-long in the gym for all of our classes.  It will be a chance for classes to perform their concert songs for each other and then sing a few carols as well.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at David Cameron!
