Happy Birthday, Jesus! – FRIDAY, December 8th from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Happy Birthday, Jesus is an EVENING EVENT; this annual preschool tradition will occur on the PCS main campus in the auditorium. Each classroom has been preparing seasonal songs to share with our families.

Event Schedule:

  • 5:30 PM – Students are dropped off to be organized, and auditorium doors open.
    • Rooms 4 & 5 will be dropped off in the auditorium’s lobby.
    • Rooms 1, 2, & 3 will be dropped off in the kindergarten classrooms.

Each classroom will be hosting cookie decorating tables. This is a beautiful way to earn MVP hours. Room Parents will send details of how you can help support by donating supplies, setting up, cleaning up, or helping monitor/host during decorating. (Volunteer MVP hours will be doubled at this event, i.e., working ½ an hour counts as 1 hour.)

We will also be parking on the PCS field.

Preschool Christmas Chapel – Thursday, December 14th

It is time for our Preschool Christmas chapel! All the classes will gather to worship and experience the Nativity Story with Mr. Tim. This is one of our favorite chapels of the year as we remember the reason for the season.

PJs and Hot Cocoa Days – Tuesday, December 19th & Wednesday, December 20th

One of our beloved Christmas traditions at preschool is our PJs and Hot Cocoa Days! We love getting cozy and watching a classic Christmas short such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas or Charlie Brown’s Christmas Special. Add a little popcorn, a warm cup of cocoa, and an entire class of friends, and it makes for a beautiful time together.

Wednesday, December 20th – MINIMUM DAY: NOON DISMISSAL

Thursday, December 21st through Friday, January 5th

From our preschool family to yours…

May your Christmas season be filled with love, light, and laughter as you gather together with family and friends to enjoy festive traditions, remember those we love, create memories, and celebrate the reason for the season. We pray blessings over everyone during the holiday break and look forward to being together again in the New Year.

In His service and with deep, heartfelt love,

Pasadena Christian Preschool

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2:8-14
