Odds and Ends:
* Wednesday, October 9th we will honor Unity Day as we unite again bullying. Please have your child wear orange to show our support against bullying.
* Wednesday 10/9 we will be celebrating our achievement in coming in first in the magazine drive with a pizza party. Cheese pizza and drinks will be provided. If your child does not like pizza or would like something else for lunch, please plan accordingly. We will be eating the pizza in the classroom that day, so if your child wants something else, they can still join us to eat in the classroom.
