Important Notes

No School Monday for President's Day

Chapel on Tuesday

Grandparent's Day- March 8 from 9:45 to 11:45. We will have school that day for the students who normally attend school on Thursdays. Everyone is welcome to join us then at 9:45 at the church for Chapel. We will continue with Grandparent's Day in the Sonshine Center until 11:45, at that time Thursday students can continue with a regular day of school or go home with grandparents. Detailed information to come home this week with permission forms.

Missing Folder- If you child came home with the wrong folder a few weeks ago please send it in, one of the girls is missing their folder.

Tissues- We did not ask for tissues this year in the beginning of the year, though some still sent them in, because we had quite a stash left from last year but we are running a little low this year. If possible please send a box of tissues to help us finish the year.

Reminders:

Our Valentines Parties are on Monday and Tuesday from 9:30-10:30 any parents are welcome to help out at our parties.

If your child is sick please be sure to either call Mrs. Adams or send me an email so that we are aware of your child's absence. Sicknesses have really started in our classroom, we are making sure that we are bleaching high traffic areas and washing our hands often. Please be sure to obey the 24 hour rule and keep your child home until they are fever and vomit free for 24 hours. This way we don't spread our sicknesses around to the whole class.
