Miss Pellin's Post September 22nd - September 26th
Thursday, September 26th is picture day! Students need to bring their completed form by Thursday.
Friday, September 26th is Johnny Appleseed’s birthday. We will be having a celebration! A note was already sent home as a reminder. Your child will be asked to bring in a peeled, cored, and sliced apple to school on Friday to be used to make applesauce for the class. We are looking for donations of small bowls Friday. If this is something you are interested in helping with, please email me or send the items in any day before Friday. Thank you in advance for your help!
