It’s raffle time and it’s better than ever! Our raffle will offer many fabulous prizes.   The raffle prizes will be awarded to the lucky holder of the winning ticket, drawn at the Millbrae Nursery School Business Meeting on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 (1/11/11) .  Winner need not be present to win.   Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.

Our goal is to raise $3,000 in ticket sales and donations for this drive.  We believe that this is an attainable goal.  We would appreciate it if every family, friend and Alumni would personally participate at whatever level they are comfortable with, whether that means donating $5, buying one booklet $10, or donating $100; all participation is welcomed and warmly appreciated.

We all have a way in which we celebrate this season.    It might be getting cozy, staying inside and waiting for spring and new life to arrive.  It may be giving the gift of time to others.  To respect all people and faiths at Millbrae Nursery School, we celebrate the season of light. Whether it is for brightening the dark nights, or light up a menorah or Christmas tree we all bring light into our homes this season.

Celebrate your culture and the excitement of the winter festivities. Share with us and each other how you celebrate in your homes.

The children can feel the excitement in the air, and it’s hard to contain.  I hope you catch their joy and excitement.

Wishing you  PEACE, JOY, LOVE  and LAUGHTER this holiday season.

Always,  Teacher Brigidan
