VALENTINES PARTIES |
LOST AND FOUND |
|
Parents, look for the treat signup poster and the day assignment
for your child’s special party. There will be an indication of
how many valentines to bring. You do not need a list of
classmates, just have your child’s name on the back. Please feel
free to join us in the classroom for the party! |

ALL OF HIS CLOTHING. We try to get it back to you! |
