Newsletter for Week 15

December 14, 2015 at 9:58 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Dear families,

I took the kids through the lost and found today.  Items in the Lost and Found will be donated over winter break.  If you feel like your child is missing something, please send a note or e-mail indicating what.  I will do my best to assist your child in locating lost items.  You may also please come in to look through the bins and rack yourself. Children often don’t recognize their own things in the sea of coats, lunch bags and other odds and ends that find their way to the Lost and Found.

Overdue library books:

Mason: Amulet,

Gracesin: Lego Book,

Nora: Birds

Tori: Fright Before Christmas

Jasmyne: Little Boo
