Monday after Easter

On Monday, your daughter should bring in her poster-sized cut out of the animal for her book report.  She should also bring in the craft supplies that will be needed to complete her project.   
We will be celebrating Earth Day at school on Monday.  It will be a BLUE JEAN DAY for the girls and another sack lunch day.  Ms. Debra will have lunches ready for those girls who pre-ordered from her.  We will be getting together to plant a tree and then having a big picnic on the front lawn.

Field Trip Reminders

The girls are looking forward to our field trip to the Pink Palace this Thursday!  Please do not forget to pack her sack lunch with a drink (sodas are OK).  Label both the drink and the bag.  Please do not send a lunchbox or Tupperware containers that will need to be returned. Ms. Debra will have lunches ready for those girls who pre-ordered from the cafeteria. Moms, who are chaperones, bring your lunch, too!  Some girls will need to bring their booster seats to school with them on Thursday.  If marked on your Tuesday letter, please remember to send her booster seat in that morning.  The girls should dress nicely that day and wear tennis shoes.  Driver’s info (copy of license and insurance) should have already been sent in to the classroom teacher. We must have that on file for every driver.  Remember that all parents are welcome to join us at the Pink Palace and pay for your admission/I-Max fee at the door.
