FINAL REMINDERS

Our school is committed to service projects at every grade level. Our project is items for infants. Last month was” stretchies,” this month is small board books, and in March it will be socks up to 24 mos. size. Last month and this month I had ONE student bring in baby items. Please help the class collect items for our project. This helps your child learn the value of giving. In addition, I will give a no homework pass to each child per month when he/she brings the item for that month.
