**NEWS FOR PARENTS
Parents!  VERY important message: Ms. Sanders has asked that all parents pull up at car riders and let your child out to walk to class.  Children must be inside the classroom before 7:45 a.m.  Juice and snack money is finished and ready to send up at 7:45 before announcements.

Please put your child's new lunch number on his or her bookbag.  You may write this with a permanent marker.  Many in our class already have numbers memorized! Great job!
Remember to put your child’s name, phone number, “E. Boyer” and lunch number on checks. 

Put ALL MONEY in a zip bag or envelope telling what it is for.  Children do not remember.

 
***Don't forget to send $3.00 for your Apple Binder AND $6.00 for class shirt!  ONLY HALF of the class has paid for these... Please send this week! :)
