A Note from Mrs. Kaber:
Christmas Walk
Every year the Kindergarten Classes go on a walk to the Zehnle House directly behind my classroom. Mr. and Mrs. Zehnle are members of The Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens. I started this Annual Walk many years ago when their granddaughter Sophie was in my Pre-K class at CCLS. Mr. Zehnle goes all out and decorates his house with wreaths, lights, the Nativity, presents, and opens his garage with a Santa's Workshop. The children will take a clipboard with items to graph for a Math activity.
We will go on our walk on Tuesday. It usually only takes about 30 minutes. It is one of my favorite activities to share with our classes and I look forward to this tradition every year! We will have both teachers and both assistants available for our walk. Please let me know if you do not want your child to participate by Tuesday morning. Thanks!

CCLS Christmas Concert & Programs
We look forward to celebrating the Advent season with our students and families. Please mark your calendars for these grade level services and programs:
K-8 Christmas Concert - December 16, 6:30pm at Kirkwood Campus - We will gather in the Concordia Center of Concordia Lutheran Church for our annual Christmas Concert. All K-8 students are involved and expected to attend, as we look forward to celebrating together the joy Jesus’ love brought the world at Christmas. This service will showcase our elementary and middle School musical programs including our choirs and band. Students can wear "Christmas best" attire. Students will come at 6pm and sit with their class.
Save the Date!
Kindergarten Christmas Chapel
When: Wednesday, December 18th
Where: In the sanctuary
Time: 8:25 am
We are excited to have families come together to worship and hear the message of Christmas with a few songs from the kindergarten classes. Each child will have an important part in this service. A sheet went home with either a speaking part or if they are acting out the story of the Bible. We have the costumes, so no need to purchase anything. Your child may wear special Christmas dresses or sweaters that day.
