REMINDERS Just a few reminders for next week! Monday, December 22 is our Christmas Party. You got a letter home that told who was on the list to bring in a treat for the party. We will be decorating cookies as well and you child knows what he or she is responsible for bringing in (either frosting or sprinkles). This was worked out with the peanut butter/jelly partners. The students are also welcome to wear pajamas, slippers, bring blankets and/or pillows. We will be watching the movie Frozen and making a fun Christmas tree ornament!

If you need assistance or have questions, please contact our school.
