making ornaments to take to the residents at Morningside Assisted
Living. A snack and drinks will be provided.
I know this

that would be great. Theresa & Breann Campbell are the coordinators
for this field trip. You can RSVP to Kim Deviese at deviese@windstream.net and I

Morningside
Assisted Living Christmas cheer field trip
Where: Morningside Assisted
Living at
When: December 5th starting at
We will be
caroling and handing out the ornaments that were made on December 1st.
In previous years the youth would get together and bake cookies to take
along with the ornaments. However, because everyone is so busy we will
not be able to do it this year. We are asking that families bring 3 or
more small Ziploc bags with maybe 3 to 5 cookies in each one. The
cookies can be store bought or homemade. Don't miss this fun and
meaningful service project.

Parents
Meeting
Please
note that the Parent’s Meeting has been moved to
Applebee’s.
In
Marvin
Sowder will be our guest speaker once again. Marvin is a local
historian. He has held the position of President of the
Historical Society and has led many expeditions finding local grave
cites. If you attend only one meeting this year this is the one
you want to attend. This meeting is for the whole family. If
you have upper elementary to high school students that love
history they will be captivated by Marvin's stories. We hope to
have lots of families at this meeting to show Marvin how much we
appreciate the time he puts into finding the information for us and our
area. Come join us for a night of facts and fun.
Please send in your HSHE Directory updates if you have not already done so.
