Parents,
We would like to close the school year out with cooperation and fun with your children. We are going to have Field Day on Tues and an International Foods Day next Thurs. We will be eating with our team on Thurs with a catered meal and a movie. We need your help by sending in $5.00 to help with the food cost. We realize that we have asked for book fines, field day T-shirt money, etc. but our pockets are empty too. Remember the International Foods Day will be for your child’s lunch so that expense would be incurred anyway. Please help us make this a fun, cooperative week for everyone. Discuss your child’s behavior with them and your expectations of them. We have also done that, but as they get older, more will be expected from them. With additional responsiblility comes more freedom- which they all want. We want everyone to have a Great Summer!
