Apr. 29- May 3


Parents,

23 more days of first grade!

A note from our FABULOUS Room Mother:
The fund-raising carnival will be held on Monday, May 13.  We are in need of 2 parent volunteers to help run the 'pin wheel pull' game in Mrs. Liston's room.  We need someone for the the 5-6:00 hour, and the 6-7:00 hour.  If you are able to help during one of those hours, I would really appreciate it!  Please email or call me -my phone number is 801-628-7787, and my email address isch11475@yahoo.com.  Also, if you are not receiving emails from me regarding class activities, and would like to be, please email me as well and I will add you to my email list.

One last thing, just a reminder...I'll be picking up parent donations for the gift baskets on Tuesday, the 30th.  Thank you for your donations!
