Suggested Packing List
Here is the copy again of the suggested packing list:
Campers: medicine!
If your child takes prescription medicine and/or an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, please place it in a sealable plastic baggie with their full name on it and give it to your child’s teacher next Tuesday. (It cannot be packed in your child’s belongings.)
- If it is a prescription: the medicine needs to be in the original container with the prescription label on the package. We will follow the directions as prescribed.
- If it is OTC medicine, it needs to be in the original package. We will follow the directions on the package.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the 5th grade teachers.
Lost and Found
Larger lost and found items (sweatshirts & jackets for example) have been laid out on tables near the office. Smaller items (single gloves for example) are in the lost and found box. Please check the tables and box for any items that might belong to your child. Unclaimed items will be donated next week. Thank you
With Thanks and Gratitude
Thank you both students and parents for making this past week such a lovely experience. I am honored to be your teacher – truly I am. Your generosity, kindness, and support are deeply appreciated.
