Dear Parents: |
|
Oh Dear! No Christmas Tree
Lot! - The children will starve . . . .
I jumped out of
a sound sleep because of a most distressing dream. We must
have our annual Nativity Christmas Tree Lot. It is the only way
our students have new books, extra curriculum programs, and new
computers!
What will we do????? I know, I'll ask my parents. They
will surely make it happen. Finally, I returned to sleep.
The
next morning I got to school and started my newsletter. Surely,
our Nativity parents will help!
