*Picture day is Wednesday, Sept 20. If you plan to order pictures, please be sure to send your picture order form and money by Wednesday morning. If students do NOT have their money when we get our pictures taken, they will have to wait until retake day in October. Thank you.

*Thank you to all of the families who have turned in their party money! If you have not done so yet, please bring $10 in as soon as possible. This money pays for all of our class celebrations during the year.

*Please remember to send a reusable water bottle to school each day with your Kinder. Make sure his or her name is clearly labeled so these can be returned each day.

*We have gym and music on Days 2 and 4. Please be sure to send gym shoes to school on those days. You may choose to leave a pair of shoes at school, just let us know. Thanks!
