Christmas in October

Christmas in October!

 

   This week is Christmas in October! (October 21^st – October 24^th) Christmas in October is a fun way for the grade seven’s and eighth’s to raise money for the four children we sponsor. Last year, we raised enough money to give them each $475. We call this Christmas in October because the school had asked if there was any time we could send them money. They told us that we could send them some for either Christmas or their birthday. Since all their birthdays are all around Christmas or October, we created Christmas in October. This year we have four days to raise all the money we can. The fee to participate this week is $2, and you get to take part in all the fun dress up days and activities at lunch.

   On Monday, we all dressed up in red and green and played a fun game of tug of war. Today is Tuesday, and we’re supposed to dress up as a Christmas character. On Wednesday, it’s stripes day(Candy Cane Day), and we’re doing 3 on 3 Basketball. To end off the week, Thursday is Crazy Hat and Tie day! At lunch on Thursday we are doing a jello eating contest. Another way to donate is to purchase a paper ornament from your home room teacher at $1 each. Our goal with the ornaments is to fill the classroom doors and hallway. Well, I think that’s it for Christmas in October. Have a good week, and Merry Christmas!
