A class collection is underway to help support our class’s future celebrations….kindly send in $10 cash to school in a labeled envelope with your son/daughter. This will help pay for party needs such as craft materials and snacks. Our class moms (Christa King and Jonelle Rensing) will be reaching out to you soon to communicate additional information regarding our upcoming fall party this Friday and how you all might be able to help. Our class moms are planning a fun craft and providing a yummy snack to celebrate Pumpkin Day. The children will also have the opportunity to pick their own small pumpkin outside on Friday afternoon. Remote learners, please refer to the main office/email updates/Trinity Times for information about how you can become involved as well! Thank you!
