Happy Holidays!
In December we will learn about the holidays different nationalities celebrate in winter. We will be busy preparing for our Winter program and making gifts for our families. Beatrice will be planning outside activities related to the curriculum themes. We are very excited to welcome Eugenia (Jeannie) and Armida to our team. Jeannie is our new afternoon teacher and Armida will be working with Karla on Side 1. We are all thankful that Beatrice is feeling better and able to plan and play games again! We are set to enjoy a great holiday season of sharing, caring and joy and looking forward to 2009. We think a pajama party on January 2nd will get the New Year off to a great start!
Thank you for everything and best wishes to all for a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!
Please make a special effort to join us for a very special PAL meeting on Thursday, Dec. 5th at 4:30pm. Your thoughts, ideas and presence will be greatly appreciated!
During the month of December Little Aviators becomes a mini Santa’s Workshop as we play “Santa for a Senior”. We work with the Home Instead Senior Care program, which is based in Torrance and serves the frail and home bound elderly who are not living in care facilities, but may not have any family near by. We “adopt” 4 “grandparents” and each group creates a basket full of special gifts requested by our senior, plus any extras we can tuck in! The children will be working for weeks making greeting cards to add to the hundreds of baskets that Home Instead delivers each holiday season. Of all the gifts the seniors receive, they always say the cards from the children are what they appreciate the most. Of course the children will also be busy creating gifts for Moms and Dads and learning about holiday traditions around the world.
A representative from Home Instead will pick up our baskets at the Winter Program on Dec. 19th. Please plan to join us on Dec. 19th at 4:30 for an evening of song & dance, cookies and warm holiday fuzzies! Have a wonderful holiday season and best wishes to all for the New Year.
