Dear Kindergarten families,

All enjoyed Monday’s In ‘N’ Out and Dippin Dots lunch fundraiser! Thank you for participating. It was nice to see many families here having a lunch break with your children.

Field trip fun continues as we travel to ATLAS school on Wednesday.  We are leaving at 8:00. Please apply sunblock before school as we will be out all morning. Have your child dressed in school uniform, comfortable walking shoes, bring a small snack and water in a disposable bag. Parents are welcome to join us for this walking field trip.
