Kris Kringle Card Swap

29th Nov 2022

There is much excitement building within the school as the children look forward to Christmas and the special events we have planned for them. Like so many, we will begin our Christmas countdown in school with our Advent calendar. Advent is when we talk about our preparations to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus on Christmas day.

This year we are going to have a Kris Kringle Card Swap! On 30th November your child will take home the name of one of his/her peers and we ask that you and your little one say a prayer for their friend and their family each night during Advent.

During the Advent season we ask that you and your child make a card for theirfriend. It can be a craft card, a card that has been drawn or a shop-bought card with a picture inside. We ask that cards are returned to school by Thursday 17th December when we will help the children to swap them; please ensure all cards are returned by this date so that everyone has an envelope to take home. This is a card-only exchange, thank you.
