Wow!  I can't believe it's already time for our Winter Break!  This year has gone by incredibly fast!  We've got a very busy week coming up so please take time to check out our reminders.

Important Information:

• Field trip is Tuesday.  Please make sure you send a sack lunch with your child if you signed up to do so.
• We will be having our pajama day on Wednesday rather than Tuesday due to the field trip. 
• Responsibility Recess will be on Wednesday.  Encourage your child to turn in all missing assignments no later than Wednesday morning in order to take part in the extra recess.
• Our Winter Celebration in on Thursday at 1:45.  If you would still like to donate an item or two, please contact me and I will let you know what we are still missing.  Also, we would love to have you join the festivities if you are able to make it!
