Parents,

On Thursday, December 15^th, Kindergarten will perform a Christmas Program following the PTO meeting.  Our class will dress as snowmen!  We are need of some help in making the costumes (they are not hard to make).  If you have some extra time on your hands and are willing to help please let me know and I will gladly send you some materials and directions. 

Thanks for all you do!!

Fall Carnival

Don't forget we will have some baskets to auction off at the carnival.  We are in need of some pet items (toys, brushes, leash, collar, beds, treats, gift cards, etc) and also some golf items (tees, balls, towels, gift cards, etc).  We have only had 1 donation for the basket so far.  Many places will donate items if they have enough notice.  Great places would be Pet Smart, Putt Putt, local groomers or golf courses or stores.  If you are willing to contact businesses for donations, please let me know.

Also we are in need of some small clothes for our  "scarecrow booth" at the carnival. If you have any baby clothes/pajamas that you don't need please send them to school with your child.  It will br great fun!  There is a PTO carnival meeting tonight.  They will be discussing many items/ideas about the carnival.  Everyone is invited to come.

Happy Tuesday :)
