DFP Family UpdateDecember 19, 2025

Thank you Thank you

Dear Feeney Families,



Thank you for your kindness and generosity throughout the year, and especially during these recent weeks. Our staff truly enjoyed the delicious lunch from Conrad’s, and the Starbucks and Dunkin’ gift cards will certainly help keep us energized through December 23! We are so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community of families.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend—we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. As a reminder, Tuesday, December 23 is an early release day with dismissal at 11:00 a.m. It is also another pajama day as we head into winter break!


With gratitude,

Julie Martin

Tuesday, December 23 is an Early Release Day at 11:00 am Tuesday, December 23 is an Early Release Day at 11:00 am

As the weather finally makes a turn please help your children remember to bring cold weather gear to school. Some of our first recesses are earlier in the morning when it is still chilly enough to wear jackets. It's a good idea to dress in layers as some of the afternoon recesses can be much warmer. Better to have the jacket and not need it then be too cold outside! Remember to label eveerything please!

Also MITTENS are far easier for little hands than gloves!

When the snow arrives, your child's classsroom teacher will communicate when to pack snow gear for a "snow play day" (snow pants, boots, etc.).
