This week we have many things going on. The students have no school tomorrow because of the election. Mrs. Parana is taking the girls to the firehouse and parent-teacher conferences start on Thursday. If you haven’t already signed up, please do so today on the Dojo link or a slot will be assigned to you. Our classroom bakesale is on Friday and we are looking for snack donations and parents who are able to pop popcorn, set up the table and sell at the end of the day Friday. If you are able to do any of these things, please let me know ASAP. Thanks in advance for helping raise money for classroom supplies.
