Dear Parents,

   A huge thank you to Mrs. Dziedzic and Mrs. Hoffman for picking up and paying for our classroom pictures that will be used for our Memory Books.  A huge thank you to Mrs. Gustafson for the generous donation of  the DRAGONBREATH series.  Our classroom has all 7 books!  Thanks to all of you who continually support our classroom is so many ways.

IF YOU CAN DONATE.....
We could use more FRUIT SNACKS!  Thanks in advance!!

Ask your child about the classroom read aloud we just finshed Because of Mr. Terupt.  There is a sequel Mr. Terupt Falls again.  It might be something worth "checking out"!
