Each student is asked to bring in $5 for pizza. Each student should also bring a bag of chips or cookies and something for themselves to drink.
***If you will not be attending school on Friday, please let me know tomorrow so that I can make changes. There will be regular classes in the morning, so the students should still have bookbags. Dismissal will be at 3:00.
