Hi Parents,
Just a note to let everyone know about our upcoming class field day. First grade is combining with the second and third grades for a "Party in the Park" scheduled for Wednesday, June 7th. We are going to have pizza, drinks, snacks, and activities in the park.
There will be a choice of cheese or pepperoni pizza - 2 slices per child. If your child chooses NOT to have pizza, he/she will be able to get their lunch from the cafeteria or bring their own. We took a lunch count for pizza today and we will be sending home a note soon regarding the cost and date due. There is a copy of this message in your child's folder as well and lists whether your child chose pizza or will need to bring a cold lunch or get cafeteria lunch.
If anyone can donate paper plates, napkins, and snacks, it would be greatly appreciated. We already have the drinks (juice) and some snacks but will need additional snacks. Please make sure your child brings in a water bottle to school that day and sunscreen!
We are not asking for any parent volunteers as the teachers will be present and responsible for their classes.
Thank you in advance for all your help!
