Dear Parents,

<b>                </b> With the holiday break just about here, life at school has been bustling with activity! Thank you to everyone who generously shared with us for the holiday program reception and gingerbread house project. We are grateful for your generosity.

Immediately upon our return from break we will be providing parents with report cards and will host our Parent-Teacher Conferences on January 9 &amp; 10. Your appointment notice is enclosed.  Please return your appointment confirmation before we leave for the holiday break. If you cannot attend your scheduled conference, please email or call Ms. Moreau <a href="mailto:lmoreau@delasallefm.org">lmoreau@delasallefm.org</a>.

Finally, on behalf of the entire De LaSalle community, I wish you and your family a joyful and memorable holiday. I hope that everyone will find time to rejuvenate and reconnect during this season that reminds us of what is truly important in life….the love we have for each other.

Peace,

Ms.  Moreau
