OHIO CAVERNS   We go to Ohio Caverns this Friday!  Please send your child to school in tennis shoes.  Remember to send in a completely disposable lunch and perhaps an extra water bottle.  Students may bring up to $10.00 for the gift shop.  Even just $0.50 can buy  a cool souvenir.   Shaving Cream The third grade classes will be doing an art project after the field trip on Friday. For this project we are asking for donations of unscented shaving cream.  If you are able to donate a can, please put it in a sealed bag and send it in with your child.  Thank you! Gratitude The students have been collecting poems and writing letters and cards to our bus staff.  We would love to present them with gratitude letters from our families as well.  If you would like to write a letter showing your appreciation for helping your child get to school safely, please send it in this week.
