April 10 (That’s tomorrow) Spring Pictures
Uniforms are not required, but you need to follow regular dress down rules. Every child will be photographed, unless you sign the bottom of the paper that was sent home. I noticed there were still several papers in boxes. If you would prefer your child not have their picture taken, pleas send a note and I will attach it to the paper. These pictures will be sent home, and then you decide if you are going to purchase them.

April 22nd Pizza for Lunch
It has been announced that lunch will be Pizza Cafe Pizza on the 22nd of April. They asked for a lunch count and the majority of our class indicated they would be eating school lunch that day.

May 18 Class Play
Every year we do a small musical. This year our musical is called Character Matters Too We will have a daytime and a nighttime performance to accommodate all parents. The daytime performance will be at 2:00 and the nighttime performance will be at 5:00. The program lasts approximately 30 minutes. If your child CANNOT be to the nighttime performance, please e-mail me as soon as possible as that will affect our casting. We will also be looking for help with props, costumes, choreography and scenery as we begin production. If you are interested in helping, please e-mail me and I will add you to my list.

Boxtops and Labels
Please continue to send in boxtops and soup labels. Please Note: Campbells soup will be discontinuing their school label program as of July 1st. With this in mind, please take the time to cut just the area of the barcode on any cans you have in food storage or in your pantry and send them in. I know the case lots are going on now and we can use those bar codes, even if they don’t say “Labels for Education” on them.
