There is so much to share that we have Part 2 today. We have a FREE parenting class for parents starting next week that offers dinner and childcare with tutoring while you learn. [cid:874fdb38-d12a-47d0-8a55-8c39ba039ca6] Hoodies at School Parents, we are having quite a few issues with students wearing the hoods on their heads in the school building. We are in no way saying that they should not be worn, they just cannot have the hoods on in the building. This also pertains to hats and beanies. Please help us by reminding your child to be mindful of head wear when they are at school in the building. Peanut Butter and Jelly Jam Beginning April 2nd - 30th, it's the annual peanut butter and jelly drive. The food collected will be used to help feed students in our district during the summer months. If you would like to help out, please send in plastic containers of peanut butter and jelly for our collection boxes. How many pounds can we collect?
