Seven Habits Feast


The First grade Seven Habits Feast will be this Thursday, Nov.21.

We are asking the students to wear their "Sunday best" clothing. 

If you have not sent in the item you were assigned, please send it in by Wednesday.  If you were assigned mashed potatoes or corn, please have the food in our classroom prior to 9 on Thursday.  

Due to limited space we are asking parents not to attend this event.  We will have more events soon which you will be able to attend.  

Thanks!
