Dear Parents,
Please remember we will be celebrating Read Across America as a school next week. Each day will be a different way to celebrate reading. Please be sure to look on the flyer that was sent home last week to find out what fun each day holds. YOU are cordially welcome to come and read to your child on Thursday morning between 8:15 - 8:45 AM in our classroom. Books from home are welcome!!! I hope you can attend!
On another note, we are in need of Kleenex, soft soap, baby wipes again. If anyone feels compelled to donate any of this, we'd appreciate it!
Mrs. McLoud
