parking lot, it will be rain or shine. All families are welcome to

attend the parade. If you plan on bringing your child home with

you after the parade, please send me a note or send a dojo so

we can mark dismissal accordingly.

today, and we are missing a student’s labeled sweatshirt. If you

 Hello Everyone! 

We had such a wonderful week which ended with a fun-filled science adventure day where we  were exploring and learning about pumpkins! :) 

A few quick notes about our weeks ahead:

1) If you haven't already RSVP-ed for our potential Fall Farm Field Trip to Tranquility Farms on Monday 10/18 please try to do so ASAP. I need to have confirmation to the farm as soon as possible. Please note, if we cannot guarantee 100% availability for all our class, we unfortunately cannot have the trip as we do not have the busing transportation at this time. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
