We picked names today for "Secret Angels."  Your child should have an index card with the  wish list of the person whose name they picked.  The price guideline is $10.00.  If that is a hardship for your family, especially at this time of year, please let me know.  Girls picked girl names and boys picked boy names.  The gifts should be wrapped with a tag that says who the present is for, but with the name of the giver left blank.  They may be brought to school beginning Monday, December 16.  Our classroom party will be Friday, December 20.  It may begin at 1:30, but that might change.
