Notes from Mrs. Holloway: Please don’t forget our class has been selected to play their recorders in the P.E.S. parade. If possible, please have your child wear a white shirt (any style), uniform pants and green, gold and purple Mardi Gras beads. This will be our “outfit” for the parade. Thank you very much.

Room Mom:Spring Fling basket – please think about donating, if you haven’t already.
Spring Fling Booth – please think about volunteering, if you haven’t already.
