Week of March 9 - March 13, 2015

     

 Friday morning before school is Donuts with Dads.  If you choose to participate, send your little one to school with dad or another special someone to share a donut before school in the cafeteria.  PTA provides donuts and juice. They ask that each child have one donut J

This begins at 7:30 a.m. 

This Friday is also Field Day.  Kindergarten's designated time is 9:00-9:50.  If you would like to join us, stop by the office and grab a sticker.  Most of the activities will take place on the field where Boosterthon was.  Our class will rotate through 6 stations and then the  gym.  Afterwards, the kids will have a popsicle.  It is important that your child wears tennis shoes that day.  For those that buy a lunch, the cafeteria will be selling sack lunches only.  I am not sure what the sack lunch will be at this time.  I haven't received the field day shirts, but once I do, I will send them home asap.  If you didn't buy a shirt, no worries.  The theme for the day is orange and blue so wear those colors!!
