Wednesday is the 100^th day of school.  Send your child to school in their 100 Day shirt.  If you would like to come see our parade, it will take place right after announcements (8:05 ish). Stop by the office for a visitor badge. You can spread out on Main Street (right in front of the library) or down the hallway by the cafeteria.  After parading around the school, we will end up back in our rooms.

Thursday is the 101^st day of school.  We’ll be doing some fun activities with 101 Dalmatians and having a pajama day!  Please be sure wear real shoes, as we’ll still have recess and, depending on your class, health fitness.
