9/13

If any of you would like to donate to our goody bucket throughout the year that would be very, much appreciated. The students get to go every time they make a 100 on an AR test, and I know with as smart as these kiddos are they will be going through a lot of candy! I also give small prizes every Friday for good behavior. I just draw one name out of a hat, but if you have small little toys (Happy Meal toys) that are still in their wrapper or anything like that you can send them with your child.

Also, I am doing a cute little gift for grandparents day September 28, if you would please send a dollar with your child, so I can purchase the supplies. Thank you so much!
