Great Events in December at 

Corrales International School!

SHOP N STROLL 

Tomorrow, December 10th, we will have our annual Shop N Stroll from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. This is a family event with a "Kids only Shopping" area, Raffle for a beautiful hand- made Quilt, and story-telling for all with Scott and Johanna Hongell-Darsee from the NM Humanities Council (11:30am)!


The shopping area is made possible by donations of articles by CIS families. We need all your extra, "stuff" for the shopping area. If you plan on bringing things to be sold tomorrow, please make sure to pre-price your items ($1.00 or less). For information or to volunteer please contact Karen Grending at kgrending@grending.com.


The BOOK FAIR is now in progress!  It will run from December 9th -12th.  If you have a student in K-5, we will have their wishlist available at the cashier table.  It will be open tomorrow during the shop-n-stroll from 10-12:30 and Monday night from 530-8pm during the winter music concert, as well as before and after school each day. 

 

If you're all booked up during Book Fair week (or just want to keep shopping), be sure to visit the Book Fair online at www.scholastic.com/schoolbookfairs. The online Book Fair is available for an extended time from December 9th to December 29th. They will be delivered tot he school after the break with no shipping charges!

 

To commemorate our book fair theme Reading is OUT of this World and build on our students' creativity, we will have the following dress-up days for our students next week, December 12 -16, 2011.


Students participating in the dress-up days do not need to wear their uniforms. Students not participating need to wear their uniforms. We will have prizes for the most creative designs.
