NEWS FOR PARENTS!

**Could we get a donation of one bag of Oreo cookies and a large bag of PLAIN (red, yellow, green, etc.) M&M's?  Thank you so much!  We want to use these for graphing in math.



April GOTCHA Party is an "incentive" bowling party!  Field Trip is on April 24th :)  You will receive an updated letter today.  Please do not forget:  If your child rides with me, he or she must ride the bus BACK with me.  If your child rides with you, he or she must be CHECKED OUT in the office and will ride to and from bowling with you.

Each chaperone will have a group of children to stay with and help serve lunch to during the trip.  I am relying on my wonderful parents to be my hands and feet, eyes and ears! :)

**Field Trip to ARIS ~ Third Grade ~ will be on the 30th.  Most students have return the permission forms sent home by Mrs. Bush.  Parents may MEET us at the school for this visit.  Our assigned time is 9:20 to 10:30.
