Odds and Ends:
*It's hard to believe the last days of third grade are here! I am looking forward to enjoying our last days together and getting ready to send 4th graders out into the world!
*Summer Birthdays: If your child celebrates a summer birthday, she/he can choose any of the remaining school days to celebrate their birthday at school. Please remember, no sugary treats. Thank you!
*The raffle for Japan has just begun. A letter was sent home on Wednesday, with the list of raffle items and raffle tickets. If you wish to participate, just fill in the tickets, put them in an envelope with the money, and return it to your classroom teacher. All tickets must be turned in by June 3rd. We will have the raffle at the all school assembly on June 6th. Thank you so much for your support.
