Our class " water park day"  is  Wednesday,  4/28 , at 12:45.                                             PLEASE send your Darling to school with their bathing suit on under their uniform (boys can just wear their bathing suits and a uniform shirt).  Send a towel and sun screen.  You can send an extra set of clothes for them to change in to but it needs to be in a bag with their name on it.  Water shoes, which can be flip flops, are a must! The students will not be allowed to walk around bare-foot.  It should be a really fun day.
