December 20th is Pajama Day @ Mt. Loafer
Do your students love expressing their holiday spirit? Well you’re in LUCK! On Friday,
December 20th we will be having our annual school wide Christmas sing-a-long as well as
the PTO Sponsored class parties. We want to invite all students to deck the halls
or at least sport their Christmas spirit this day. You are welcome to have them wear festive
holiday pajamas, socks, sweaters/shirts, hats/headbands and accessories of any school appropriate

Sledding on the Hill- reserved for one day only!
We would also like to ask you to remind our students that although it is fun, we do not slide on the hill during school hours. We reserve ONE day out of the year to sled at Mt. Loafer and other than that we ask students to stay off the hill as well as any snow mounds that may be plowed on our playground. This is for the safety of the students. Also remind them that we do not throw snow and ice at school. We have already had a few minor injuries from careless behaviors. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT in reminding the kids of our “snow rules!”
Christmas Choir Concert Thursday
School Wide Performance of our Mt. Loafer Singer's Christmas concert will be Thursday at 2:00pm
The choir will perform for families and friends that evening at 7:00pm. Any families and friends who would like to attend are welcome to come!
Dress for the warm weather, please!
Please help your children dress appropriately for the weather. When it is 20 de-
grees or above, students are expected to go outside for recess. Please write your chil-
dren’s names in their coats and jackets—this really helps with lost clothing. You may also want to visit the lost and found bucket in the front entry way this week. All items left will be donated at the start of the Christmas Break. Thank you.
