News From the Office….
Thank you so much for the generous donations for walk a thon! The money raised will support many school family social events and learning programs! The kids will get to watch the teachers play bubble soccer as well for hitting their goal. They are looking forward to it!!
Just a reminder to have your kids look in the lost and found for items that did not make it home. As it gets colder out and the kids dress in layers, our lost and found grows very quickly! It is located in the hall between the library and classroom halls.
We also wanted to remind parents if you are planning a vacation, please fill out a vacation form and send it back to school. You can either email your child’s teacher and we can send a form home or you can go to the blog under forms and procedures and find it there. Thanks!!!
