In addition to the usual delicious treats, we will be selling tomato and pumpkin seedlings as well as other plants for your garden. Please stop by and give one or two of these plants a new home in your garden. Then sit back this summer and watch them grow and enjoy the rewards of fresh produce later this summer and fall! End of the year music assembly -- Wed 6/2
Lost & Found Thanks to the 2nd grade Brownie troop and the 1st grade Daisy troop, the HUGE pile of lost-and-found items has been sorted and laid out for easy viewing. PLEASE look through both the hanging rack and the long tables outside the office with your child or encourage him/her to do so now. Items remaining at the end of the school year will be donated to the city-wide PTA Wardrobe. Remember, the best way to prevent loss is to write names in/on everything. The lost-and-found volunteers can return items if they are clearly identifiable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
