Dear families,

Hope you enjoyed St.Martin’s Day.

9 volunteers are needed to help us make  9 Christmas Advent Calendars (1 calendar per class from Pre-Kindergarten to G5/6). Photos attached. We already have the ideas and some experience of previous years and we just need crafty hands. Let's enjoy and bring Christmas to our kids together . 

No experience needed, any language is ok. We are planning to work in 3 groups (3 people for 3 calendars in each group). Approximate time per group: 3-4 hours. Time/ date will be scheduled this week upon your sign-ups.

The advent calendars will be presented to the kids on November 27 Monday. From November 28 they will open 1 envelope with a surprise each day till School Christmas day December 15.
