This wonderful event is sponsored by Fairmont Private School and the OC Harley Davidson Owners Club. On Friday, December 14 the Harleys will roar onto campus to the joy and delight of all our students.  We love listening and watching all the motorcycles roll on in to pick up all of the generous toys all our students and parents have donated to the children who will be staying at CHOC over the holidays and the upcoming year. The patients of CHOC are so gratefully for our donations as they are confined to the hospital.

Donations are now being collected! All the toy donations must be new and unwrapped, a letter and "Wish List" from CHOC is attached.  Thank you so very much for helping these children.

Our Thanksgiving Feast were a huge success, and it was so wonderful to see how happy our students were with their big plates of turkey and all the fixins!

We are excited to kick off our new character development program based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People at School. For the month of December, we will be practicing the habit "Begin with the end in mind."  This habit means:

• I plan ahead and set goals.
• I do things that have meaning and make a difference.
• I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision, and look for ways to be a good citizen.

We will continue practicing one habit each month for the remainder of the school year following this schedule:     

January: Seek First to Understand Then be Understood  

February: Synergize

March: Be Proactive

April: Think Win-Win 

May/June: Sharpen the Saw
