Please send in $3.00 by Wednesday since I will be ordering pizza for the third grade only. Each student in third grade should also bring in their own two individual juice containers --no large bottles or glass bottles. Since we will be "treating" all th pre-k and kindergarten chidren during their parade on our floor, it is necesary for each student to bring in one large bag of wrapped up candy that they can distribute.

Next week there will be a THERE/THEIR/THEY'RE QUIZ with a treat for all those who score 90% or above. The reason is that there are too many students who don't know that they're using their words incorrectly! This quiz is for third and fourth graders only at the present time.
