Lucky us!!
We are very fortunate to have a very special gift this Friday!!! Two families- the Davis and Griffin families- went in together to purchase a pizza and ice cream cake party for the 3rd grade at our annual auction!! We will be celebrating this Friday during our lunch/recess time.
So your child does not need to bring a lunch or purchase school lunch tomorrow unless they can't have pizza and ice cream. Please DO send your child with a water bottle!
Thank you Davis and Griffin families!!!
