Our class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 until 2:15.
Just a reminder that snack should be in a separate bag placed in your child's lunch box, along with their lunch food, including a drink for both.
If your child has food allergies, please bring in a bag with a few special safe treats for them to eat if we should have a birthday celebration. Thank you so much for your help with this.

Students should bring snack and lunch as well as drinks for both. Please label the snack so that we know what they should have at that time. Thank you for your help with this.

Make you, Our Father, happy too.
