Homework and Happenings

On Thursday, October 31st, our fifth graders will be participating in a math activity that involves the use of pumpkins.  We are asking each child to bring in $2.00 for the purchase of pumpkins.  The teachers will purchase the pumpkins for the students.  This will alleviate any issues with the pumpkins being transported on the buses.  Please have the donation to your homeroom teacher no later than Monday, Oct. 28th.
