Happy Sunday! It is another beautiful day. I hope you are enjoying it with your family. I know everyone is anxiously awaiting the “POOLS” to open!
Field Day is on Thursday. Please have your child wear their orange class t-shirt or an orange shirt and tennis shoes! Dress for the weather outside that day too!
Field Day cannot be a success without the help of parent volunteers. Thank you so much to all the friends who have volunteered to help that day. If you are still interested in volunteering and helping to make it a huge success please see the link below to sign up for a station. Thanks in advance! (We are still searching for a parent volunteer to cover a lunch break in our room from 12:00 – 12:45!)
