Monday, October 22nd

Today, the class was visited by a health group (future pharmacists)  that talked to them about germs and how to prevent them. Ask your child what he/she learned from this presentation

Wednesday it our field trip to Greenfield Village. Can you chaperone this trip?  We sure could use more adults with us.   It looks as though it will be a dry day but rather chilly. Be sure that your child is dressed warm. Also, your child needs to bring a lunch. Be sure that it isn’t to large and includes a drink. Students may bring money for the gift shop.

Book orders are due on Wednesday!

Thursday is Picture Day!  If you would like to purchase pictures of your child, you may send in the form anytime this week through Thursday.
