Parents,
It is so hard to believe that our 2015-2016 school year is almost over! I have had the best year teaching your children! As our year comes to an end please remind your child of school rules and remind them of expected behaviors.
Our class will be having a “Class Cash Celebration” to spend their hard earned class cash. This celebration will be held on Monday, May 23rd at 11am. The students will pay to watch a movie and there will be concessions for sale for them to buy. In addition to the “Movie Theatre” we would like to set up a store. Please consider donating items for the students to buy (pencils, small toys, games, jump ropes, bubbles, candy, etc.).
Please send in all items by Friday, May 20th!!!!!!!
