Help Needed! We need lots of family help and support for the end of the year activities. Keep the dates in mind that are listed in the Our Calendar section of the newsletter.

For Water Day- hoses, sprinklers, wading pools, a slip and slides, watermelon, ice pops, or bubbles. I am requesting that each child bring in 1 or 2 cans of shaving cream.
