Odds and Ends!
*New hot lunch item: Each day a chicken patty is available for hot lunch in addition to pizza, salad bar, and the lunch A and B options for the day! Yum!
*Classroom collection: We are always collecting soup labels and box tops. Last year, my class won a pizza party. I know we can do it again!
*Donations needed: In our classroom we take a lot of photos for our end of the year memory books. If you would like to help out, please send in disposable cameras and film. I also need volunteers to take the film to be processed. Thank you in advance for your help!
*Also, we started our Goodie Ticket Turn-In each Friday, where students can turn in their earned tickets for prizes. We are always in need of toys (little stuffed animals, notebooks, pens, pencils, stickers, etc) for the prize box! Thanks!
