Wednesday, April 15

No more reading logs this year!!!

We are in need of individually wrapped candy for the candy jar.  If you can help out with a bag of candy, I'd appreciate it.  I suggest any of the following:  Nerds, Smarties, Dum Dums, Jolly Ranchers, or Skittles (please no chocolate or peanut products).  Thank you very much!!!

I sent out an email yesterday for snacks for our testing dates.  I've already had many of the slots filled.  Thank you so much for your help!  Please remember that snacks should be individually wrapped and sent in the morning of the date you select.

Other reminders that I mentioned in my email.  Children should...
  • eat a good, filling breakfast
