December 9 Newsletter

Parent Information

  • As a class we have raised $38.50 in quarters! Thank you so much for participating!! It was neat to combine money and social studies by studying maps and quarters. The money will be used to buy three first graders off the angel tree the items they requested. A little boy requested a pair of jeans, a little girl wants a graphic t-shirt, and another little boy wants match box cars. I will go shopping and get those items for them. Thank you again!!!
