News and Information Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your entire week off for Thanksgiving! Keep reading for the reading challenge! The weather has been a little bit all over the place. Make sure your child has a coat for outside recess when the weather is chilly.  We go outside whenever it is possible. Picture re-takes are November 30th.  If you would like your child’s pictures re-taken, please return their original packet by that date. Our snack supply is running low. We enjoy animal cracker, popcorn, cheez-its, cereal, pretzels, ritz crackers, etc.. Have a great weekend!
