A Note From Mrs.Desselles
Dear Parents,
We are excited about the Pow-Wow. The kids had so much fun decorating
their t-shirts. Thanks to the parents who were able to help. We’ve been busy
making an Indian headband and will use magnolia leaves for the feathers, and
our Indian necklace will be decorated with popcorn and feathers.
We made Pilgrim hats and bonnets to wear when we eat in the cafeteria
on Thursday since they will be serving Turkey, dressing, etc.-a Thanksgiving
Feast!
