Dear 4X:

A lot of info here but we want everyone to have the very helpful info  
from the last PA meeting and to be ready when we all come back from  
the long weekend.

First, from our wonderful teachers:

1.  Thanks to those parents who helped our children prepare 50 pans of  
stuffing for Martha's Table on Friday.  It is being enjoyed at the  
Martha's Table Thanksgiving Dinner today!

2.  Please sign the Nov. 30th Zoo permission slip that came home with  
your child this weekend.

3.  Please check the ERB schedule before making any doctor/dentist/ 
other appointments in December.

4.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

And now from the LS PA:

Grades 2-4 Holiday Program attire
On December 9 and 10, all students in grades 2 to 4 must wear white  
tops (e.g., turtleneck, sweater, polo shirt, blouse or shirt.) Boys

wear a comfortable skirt with tights or nice pants. Please remember to  
have your children wear these outfits both days. Same program,

Fruit for Martha’s Table
On November 23 there will be an All Lower School Meeting for Worship  
for Thanksgiving. We will follow the tradition of asking each child to  
bring in one piece of fruit, which will be collected and presented by  
each class at this Meeting for Worship. The fruit will be given to  
Martha's Table for distribution to those who are hungry. Please send  
fruit which will transport well such as oranges, apples or slightly  
green bananas.

Holiday Gift Giving
In the spirit of holiday gift giving, the LS Community Service  
Committee invites Sidwell Friends families to share with our neighbors  
in need during the first two weeks of December. Please drop off  
unwrapped gifts in the collection boxes located in Manor House between  
November 29 and December 10. If you have any questions or are  
interested in lending a hand, contact Beth Zeugin at [email-masked] 
.

A Wider Circle
Join SFS families at A Wider Circle in Silver Spring on Sunday,  
December 5, 1 to 2:30 pm. Volunteers will help sort children’s  
clothing, household items, pantry foods and furniture. Your time will  
greatly benefit AWC’s Neighbor to Neighbor as they help families who  
are just leaving shelters to make a warm, safe, and comfortable home.  
All families welcome (ages 4 and up), Second Grade families  
encouraged. Please RSVP by November 29 to Sara Jane Harris, [email-masked] 
.

Martha’s Table
Gather at Martha's Table Saturday, December 11, 10 am to 12:30 am, to  
make and bag donated food to feed the hungry throughout the city. You  
can even take a tour through the kitchen where you will see the  
enormous pot your Wednesday Veggies fill to make the famous Martha’s  
Table soup! All families welcome (ages 4 and up). Fourth Grade  
families encouraged. (Families can leave earlier than 12:30 pm if they  
need to.) Please RSVP by November 23 to Felice Roggen at  
[email-masked].

Happy Thanksgiving!

Peggy and Estee
