See you on Monday,

Julie

If you and your child have an item that is important and/or valuable to them and you, we ask you to please keep that item at home where it is safe. The kids are busy throughout the day, both in the classroom and outside at recess and sometimes things can get lost inadvertently. It would be helpful to your child and us if those items in a safe place at home. Thank you.
