• REMINDER!!! Project:  Last class we decorated cake boxes for the Food Pantry. We are asking that each child bring in items to fill these boxes with birthday cake and party supplies to help those in need celebrate their birthdays just as we are able to do. If you have not yet done so, please bring in a cake mix, container of frosting, sprinkles, balloons, candles, and a birthday banner. If this will cause an undo burden, please contact Denise and Amanda.

• If your child missed class today, their packet of missed work will be in Denise and Amandas office. It can be picked up during their office hours (Wednesdays 1-6 p.m.)

• FOLDERS ARE TO BE BROUGHT TO CLASS EVERY WEEK. THERE IS NO EXCEPTION.
