Valentine Party

I want to say thank you so much Mr. Triplett for donating the frozen custard for our Valentine Day Ice Cream Social. Some of the parents sent in their child’s favorite topping and shared with those who forgot their topping. So thank you to those who did!

I have been in need of tissue for the classroom and I had four parents send in tissues. Thank you so much, hopefully that will help us to the end of the school year. I also want to give big thank you to the parents who have sent in pencils, erasers, stickers and other needed items for the school year.

I need and am hoping that some parents will offer to help with Spring Swing and send in items for our basket. The theme for our basket this year is “Everything Garden” Please help out if you can! Remember all the money goes back into our school.
