PJs and Hot Cocoa Days – Thursday, December 19th & Friday, 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.
Friday, December 20th – MINIMUM DAY: NOON DISMISSAL
Monday, December 23rd through Friday, January 3rd
From our preschool family to yours…
May your Christmas season be filled with love, light, and laughter as you gather with family and friends to enjoy festive traditions, remember those you love, create memories, and celebrate the reason for the season. We pray blessings over everyone during the holiday break and look forward to reuniting 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
