The class is looking forward to attending "A Christmas Carol" on Tuesday, December 13th

They are also excited to go bowling on Wednesday, December 14th. Optional: Students can bring up to $10.00 if they would like to buy a snack at the bowling alley.  If your child chooses to buy a large snack, chances are they will not be very hungry at lunch.  Therefore, it is probably a good idea to pack a light lunch.
