                Helping Hurricane Victims…

                 One Coin at a Time

 

Let’s work together to show we care!

Bring in your coins or more! A little will go a long way to help those affected by the recent hurricanes. We will send every cent we raise to the American Red Cross!

Every class will begin collecting coins on Wednesday, September 13th through Friday, September 22nd!

 

Our goal is to raise $500.00! Go Lions! We can do it! And…you are encouraged to write a letter or draw a picture to encourage the children impacted by these hurricanes.

 

           Reach out with kindness…. Be a helping hand!

Hello Families!

We will have a parent meeting in our classroom (room 104) tomorrow at 12:00. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Also, you should be receiving texts from me through Remind. The text will come up with a code rather than an actual phone number. My code is @msspesc enter that and you should be able to join my Kindergarten page. This is another way I will be communicating with you. You can also respond back and it will text me to my phone. 🙂 If you want to reply to the blogs here…you certainly can! Just click on the bottom where it says reply. Your message will go straight to my email for me to read. I check my email regularly.

Thanks for all you do!
