Winter Assembly Family Movie Outing Holiday Shopping Winter is On the Way: School Cancellations and Early Closings Winter Assembly ... The MAG will be singing three songs and the sixth grade will also sing at the Assembly. Both the eighth and ninth grade handbell groups will perform as will the eighth and ninth grade guitar ensembles, the ninth grade drummers, and the jazz rock band. Patty Chamberlain and John Cunningham encourage parents of performers to attend and stress that all parents are welcome. It's a great way to get in the holiday spirit! And please make sure your child dresses apropriately – no jeans, sweat pants, or t-shirts or sweatshirts. Fourth Annual Movie Outing to Follow Winter Assembly Kick off Winter Break at Foote's fourth annual movie outing next Friday! The movie of choice is the PG-rated "Alvin and the Chipmunks" on its opening day, Dec. 14 at a nearby theater. First, the PTC will sell pizza and drinks in the gym immediately following the Winter Assembly. Then, everyone will head to the theater. As usual, the film’s distributor won’t disclose the exact movie time and location until the week of the opening. Specifics will be publicized as soon as they are available. Meanwhile, please leave your ticket order by Wednesday, Dec. 12, with a check or exact cash in the "movie box" at the front desk in the Main Office. Tickets cost $6.75 each. At the movie outing, all children must be accompanied by an adult. If you can’t attend, please arrange for another adult to be responsible for your child. Do Your Holiday Shopping Before & After Winter Assembly Limited numbers of Caroline Kennedy's A Family Christmas, cookbooks by Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, and Mollie Katsen, and David Halberstam’s last book, The Coldest Winter will be sold next Friday in the gym lobby before and after the Assembly – all for just $20 each. There is also a handful of note cards featuring art by Foote students, and the game "Jumpin' Java" created by Donald Green, father of two Foote alums. Small Denomination Stop & Shop Cards for Gift Giving To make holiday shopping easier, Stop & Shop cards in $50 denominations will be available next Friday. People have asked for the $50 cards so they can be given as gifts. They, along with $100 cards, will be sold in the gym lobby before and after the Winter Assembly on Dec. 14. Questions? E-mail Christina Herrick or call her at at 453-5224. Cookbook Recipes Still Welcome The deadline has been extended to Jan. 3 for submitting recipes for the upcoming Foote Cookbook.
