December 17 meeting

Hi Families!

This week's meeting is our last meeting before the Christmas break. The Sparks are invited to wear their pjs. We'll be decorating gingerbread cabins (mini gingerbread houses) and singing Christmas carols.

Two notes:

1. Our first meeting back after Christmas will be on January 7, same time, same place!

2. We are in the process of ordering cookies for the spring cookie sales (vanilla and chocolate mix). Please let Marigold know on the 17th if you would like more than one case.

All the best to you and your family over the holidays!!

Marigold, Jewel and Hearts

December 3 Meeting and Parade

Hi Families,

This week we are looking at how people celebrate birthdays in other countries! Please have your spark bring her scarf (or another scarf or bandana) this week -- we'll need it for a couple of games. This is also the last week for Snowsuit Fund donations if you are interested in contributing. We've had a great response already -- thank you!

Also, below are the details for the Santa Claus parade in Manotick. Marigold will be there helping the Brownie unit if your Spark is interested in coming. (Please let me know on Tuesday if you are definitely coming so I can get you a permission slip.)

Santa Parade this Saturday, December 7th.  We will meet at the Manotick arena -  all kids should come at 12:45 so that they don't have to wait too long before the parade starts.  Please remind the girls to dress warmly - snowpants, hats, mitts, boots, as jackets and scarves would all be great. Girls should also where their sashes over their jackets.

Please also bring a blanket for the float and an elf hat if possible (they are available at the dollar store). The hats should be pinned onto the girls outer hats, because they are not very warm by themselves, and the pins will ensure that the hats stay on their heads.

See you soon!

Marigold, Hearts and Jewel
