Room Activities

Each year parents volunteer to help with certain room activities during the school year.  Such activities may include providing treats for the class.  Please let your teacher know if you would like to be a room mother/father chairperson or provide refreshments for holiday parties. We have a Christmas, Valentines, Easter, and End of Year party.  In order to help pay for these activities, each child is asked to bring $5.00 for party money.  Thanks so much for all of your help and support.
