SANTA SHOP RECALL NOTICE
It was recently brought to our attention that one of the items we sold at
our Santa Shop has been recalled. The supplier has asked us to assist in
taking the steps necessary to coordinate a voluntary recall of the "Winnie
The Pooh Baby Plate Set". If you purchased one of these please stop by the
front office for information on who to contact for a replacement.
Our AC renovation is now complete so the office and clinic has officially
moved back to the 300 building. Mrs. Nelson's class is now located in room
702 and Mrs. Bearden is in room 704.

We had another great painting session last Saturday. Ashley Hibbert and
Mary Rose Buchanan painted for the girls, and Jim Eisman and Jacob Slupecki
painted for the boys. They all worked very hard and we finished up our base
coats. This Friday (teacher planning day) we will have our next session.
Please sign up as we have some spaces left. We will start by painting the
night sky in the boy's restroom. Then we will paint the sun shining through
the water in the girl's restroom. We have had to cancel our April 9th
session as that is the day of the Chaires Spring Festival. Please make note
of it on your calendars. Remember, your parents must sign the handout and
drop you off at the art room. If you have any questions or concerns you may
