Thank you for working with your child to make our Cultural Heritage presentation a success. The children loved the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and the respponse from our guests was enthusiastic.  The displays were very well done.

 Please label all sweaters and sweatshirts with your child's name.

Our classroom is a "nut-free" environment.  No foods containing tree nuts or peanuts can be brought into or consumed in the classroom.  If you plan to send snacks for a special occasion, please check with me.  This is especially important because, although your food might not contain nuts, it could be manufactured in a factory where nuts are used in other products.  This is necessary to ensure the health and safety of the children in the classroom.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
