Please note the green Picnic T-Shirt Order Form sent home on Friday. Orders should be returned to school by Wednesday, 5/15.

For the All School Field Trip on Wednesday, we will be departing school at approximately 8:30 and returning around 1 p.m. Lunches will be eaten in our classroom upon our return, so kids will be HUNGRY! A good breakfast is important since they will be eating lunch 2 hours later than usual.

Final call for Scholastic Book Orders. Please order online or send in forms by Tuesday, 5/14 if you are interested. Thanks!
