All shopping bags need to be brought in on Wednesday. Anyone without a bag will have to take all books home on Wednesday. Please wash your child’s seat sack over the break. Some of them are very dirty and have juice, soda, and food spilled in them. Let your child know what books you would like them to bring home over the vacation, so we do not pack them up.

F. The 4th grade will be having an Easter Party on Friday, 3/23. If your child would like to order pizza, he/she should bring in $3.00 by Wednesday. Everyone should also bring in something to drink for themselves (no big bottles of juice or soda), and some type of treat to share with the class. Dress up clothes may be worn since we will be going to church in the morning (no dollar will be collected).
