Each classroom needs approximately 20. Please let your child's homeroom teacher know if you would be able to donate some of these bags.

We will be watching the Polar Express and making goody bags this party afternoon. More information will be coming home on Monday, December 10th.

Contact your child's teacher if you can share a copy of the movie with us.

Science fair information will be coming home soon. If your child is interested in competing in the Science Fair, sometimes it is necessary to start over the break. We will be happy to provide registration information to any first graders who would like to participate.

Thank you, as always for your help and support of the first grade classes. We are truly thankful for the time and donations that you make for the good of our kiddoes. Have a great day!
