I'd also like to have our campus provide breakfast to everyone again on this day! If you would like to help with bringing any breakfast items, please sign up on the Sign-Up Genius link.

The iPad cart is being stationed in Ms. Lina's 2nd grade classroom currently. Each classroom (Sped, PK3, PK4, KA, KB, 1A, 1B, and 2nd grade) will be assigned 4 iPads each day, with checking them out on a sign out log in located on the cart and returning them each day (hand them to Ms. Lina) to recharge them. Once more iPads are received, more will be designated per grade level. Let me know if you have any questions!
