Peek at the Week: 1/21-1/24

Coupon books will be coming home with your child today!!  We had our fundraiser kick-off in the gym at the end of the day today.  When you sell your books, return the money and if you would like more send me a note and I'll request them from PTO!

 

The first graders will be performing ARF! on March 13 at 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.  There will be a planning meeting in Mrs. Granger's room Thursday, January 23 at 9:45 a.m. for anyone who would like to help with the play.  We would love to have volunteers work on scenery and other areas.  All students will be asked to wear jeans and a solid white, black, brown, or gray t-shirt.  The production is going to be very cute.  ALL first graders will be dressed as a dog.  Look for more information to come home in next Friday's folder.
