Good Morning!
What a super cold weekend! I hope this weather breaks soon!
I sent home two permission slips last week; MTYP for Jan. 6 and the Ski Trip for Jan. 21. Please make sure they are returned by Friday this week so I can count numbers for each. The students will be walking to MTYP if I can't get drivers.
Please check your email for a list of items your child has signed up to bring for our class Christmas Hamper. In addition, the students who did not sign up for three items must bring in $2 to help cover the costs of gifts for the children and fresh goods. Our family consists of a Mom and four children. The items need to be in by Thursday this week so that the hamper can be delivered on Friday or Monday. Thank you in advance.
