You have received information about our class Thanksgiving basket.  Your support of our efforts is appreciated.  All items need to be in class by next Tuesday.

Wednesday is a special day.  The theme is "vacations."

 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.
