Happy New Year - 4707 - Year of the Ox!

Dear Parents:

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 4707 – Year of the Ox! The Kindergarten Classes will be going on a walking tour of CHINATOWN SUNSET PARK on Friday, February 13, 2009 and will be having lunch at Pacificana Restaurant, located at 813 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY. We will be having an authentic Chinese lunch and will be seeing the Lion Dance and – hopefully - a Kung Fu Martial Arts show. We will be leaving the school at 9:30 a.m. and will walk around the Chinatown neighborhood – if the weather is appropriate - where we will see many live creatures – turtles, crabs, etc. Lunch is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. The cost of the trip is $9.50 per child. Parent volunteers will also cost $9.50. Please send in the permission slip and payment as soon as possible since we have to advise the restaurant of the number of people attending prior to the date. Permission slips will be going home on Monday. Of course, for any parent who is unable to pay, please speak to us privately and arrangements will be made. No child will ever be left behind for inability to pay. If any parent can contribute a little more to offset the fee for a child who cannot pay, it would be greatly appreciated.

Each class will be allowed to take 5 parent volunteers. We will take the first five parent volunteers from that list who submit their form to us. It is so great that we have so many parents who want to go on the class trips with the children and we are sorry that we cannot take each one of you. There will be many more trips and the parents who did not get a chance to go on the last bus trips will be on the top of the list for our next bus trip.

Thank you for all your support!
Ms. Graham
