CLASSROOM NEWS


For Your Information

Thanks for Stepping Up!
Thank you Mrs. Foernssler for taking the role of Head Room Parent. Mrs. Foernssler will be doing the "behind the scenes" work for each of our classroom parties. She will contact the people signed up for the different parties closer to the party dates.

Don't Forget...
Please remember to bring a sack lunch on Monday for our field trip! We will be eating at the Morton Arboretum before returning to school. Also, please dress for the weather - this is an outdoor learning experience!


Subject Update:
