Notes from Mrs. Rivas

\ We will be going on our field trip to Montalvo on Monday, March 26th. We still need 1 more chaperon; if you are interested please let me know immediately. In addition, on this day please provide your child with a small snack in a disposable bag for after the show.

Students will be having lunch at 10:00 am at school. I have ordered lunches for the following students: Amaris, Anahicess, Astrid, Crystal, Fernando N., Fernando S., Hector, Isaiah, Jesse R., Joaquin, Johnny, Karen, Marcos, Max, Maya, and Zoraya. If your child’s name is not listed, you indicated on the permission slip that you would provide them a lunch. Please make sure to send your child to school with a lunch and a snack on this Monday.

\ Thank you very much to the families who have signed up on the door to contribute donations and/or volunteer in April. We would not be able to do these fun activities without your support. For the egg hung we need at least 2 volunteers, if you are available please sign up!
