Aditionally, no food or drink will be permitted in the auditorium.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

November book orders went out last week. I have already received orders from a few of you. A special holiday book order catalog will go out later this week. All book orders are due on November 30th to ensure that they arrive before winter break. If you would like to order books for your child as a present, I can wrap your books in a brown bag to ensure that they do not see them ahead of time. Please just send me an email after you place your order saying you would like the books to remain a secret. Go to the following website and enter our class code to order:
