Happy Holidays, friends! I can’t believe it’s the last week before our winter break. With so much to do, here’s a little organizational breakdown to help ease the stress so you can enjoy all that’s going on:
Monday the 12th (6:00-8:30)
Join some of the teachers and prents at our Open Studio here at NSW. The focus this night is felting but be assured there will be other opportunities for you to make some gifts for those special people in your life. Sign ups are on the door.
Tuesday the 13th (6:30-8:00)
East Wing Potluck Holiday Party (for immediate family only)
Plan to arrive by 6:15 so the children can get settled before they sing for you. It will be the usual “nightmare” with the parking so prepare for that. The children can dress up or not. Remember, it’s their night, so try not to make it about you!! We will have the food set up in the back patio, so when you arrive take it there. Ring serving utensils and it’s helpful if you put your name on you dishes. We will east after the ‘show” which we plan to start on time so if you’re hungry and can’t wait until 7:15, then eat first. That goes for your children too. It will be an exciting evening filled with high energy so we plan to have the children calm down with a rug activity (music, stories…) while the parents clean up and put things away right around 7:45 or so. That way, we can all walk out together right around 8:00. Sound good? I think it will be fun if we all work together.
MARIGOLDS: bring a main dish for 20
LILIES: bring a vegetable or appetizer for 20
LAVENDERS: bring a main dish or salad for 20
Anyone feeling like dessert? Bring it along if you’re inspired.
Wednesday the 14th (3:30-4:30)
This is our Special Friends holiday sing. Since we just don’t have the room for all our extended families and friends to attend the evening sings, we are hosting a special performance. The ew and the ww children will sing for the grandparents, nannies, godparents, aunts, uncles, etc…starting at 3:30. It gets pretty crowded so we are asking that the parents refrain from coming to this afternoon gathering since you’ll have your own evening’s entertainment. We’ll serve cookies and juice for our friends and say our goodbyes by 4:30. sweet and simple.
Wednesday the 14th (6:30-8:00)
It’s the WW Holiday Potluck. See the guidelines above for the ew potluck.
TULIPS: bring a salad or side dish for 20
ROSES: bring a main dish or appetizer for 20
DAFFODILS: bring a main dish for 20
DAISIES: bring a dessert for 20
If you want, bring a bottle of wine to share.
Here’s a note from the green committee…
Bring your own eating utensils and cloth napkins to take home at the end of the night. We should have enough cups and plates so we can put everything in the dishwasher at the end of the night.
