Hello to all second grade families!
Happy birthday to Josiah who celebrated his birthday on October 21st!
I am collecting $10 from each family in order to cover the cost of upcoming party crafts/activities. A note has been sent home. Please send your contribution if you have not done so already. Thank you!
Georgia and Skylar’s moms, our second grade class parents, will be reaching out to you in the upcoming weeks regarding holiday celebrations. Our first party will be our Pumpkin/fall themed celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 31. Thank you in advance to our class moms and to all who contribute!
Please think about volunteering as a Mystery Reader! If interested, please email me so we can schedule a date for you to come in and read to the class. We’d love to have you visit our classroom!
