Dear Families,
Today, students will be bringing home an ornament to decorate. It will be coming home to the youngest student in each family. We are happy to announce that our school is part of the Festival of Trees celebration happening at the Gallagher Bluedorn this winter. Instead of making ornaments at school, this year our Leader in Me Student Lighthouse Celebration team has planned this as a school-wide family service project. We are asking each family to decorate an ornament that will be displayed at the event on our school’s tree. Attached to your ornament are directions and the basic supplies needed. You may also need glue, markers, or common household items to complete the project. Feel free to add any other decor to your ornament, however no names go on the ornament. Please do this as a family and return it to school by Wednesday, November 10. Please return it in the ziplock bag it came in. Throw away any extra materials.
The 33nd Annual Festival of Trees “Comfort & Joy” benefits a variety of projects at MercyOne Cedar Falls Medical Center which continue the Mission of offering exceptional and compassionate health care to our community. Friends of MercyOne Cedar Falls is pleased to share the gift of the Festival of Trees with the community. This year's event will be scaled down due to the pandemic. The Gallery of Trees and Wreaths will be open for the public to see, and we will host several virtual Holiday DIY projects throughout the week of Wednesday, November 17th through Sunday, November 21, 2021. Here are the times the Gallery is open to view the trees: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 17-19-Noon-6pm, Saturday, November 20-9am-3pm, and Sunday, November 21-10am-2pm.If you have any questions, please contact the school. Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
The Student Lighthouse Team
