Classroom Halloween Party
Oct. 31st
Children in the 3’s and Junior Kindergarten may wear their costumes to school. Parents walk their children to their classrooms and are invited from 9-9:30 to enjoy some songs and goodies with the class. No weapons or masks should be part of a child’s costume.
The NNS Mitten Tree
Early December
The Mitten Tree is a holiday tradition that introduces the children to the concept of giving to the less fortunate children in our area. Because many families have their own holiday giving traditions, The Mitten Tree is not unduly emphasized and participation is entirely optional. For interested families, a short description follows:
For two weeks before the holiday break, children may bring NEW hats, gloves, scarves and mittens to school. A teacher escorts the child who is making the donation to a small tree located in their classroom. The child chooses a place on the tree to hang the item. After two weeks, the class packs the items into a box which they wrap up and address. The box is delivered to The Family and Children Services of Central New Jersey or to another local agency for distribution to needy children.
