HELP!!!
We are extremely low on paper towels and are Kleenex. We could always use
baby wipes, napkins, and paper plates. If at all possible, please send in
these items. Your child will need two more notebooks to make it to the end of
this school year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school at 892-0869.
