Dear Parents, 

It's hard to believe our last week of school before winter break is this week. We are looking forward to our class parties on Wednesday, December 17th, at 1:00! Special thanks in advance to our room parents for planning and organizing and for all the parents who are volunteering to help run games and set up! The kids are so excited! Have a fabulous weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Bell & Ms. Herrera
