Dear Parents,
As we welcome cooler weather, please remember to put your child’s name in their jackets, lunch boxes and water bottles. There are so many items that are left out on the playground or in the classroom! It makes it much easier to find the owner if their name is written on the article.
Also, if you have been wondering where a certain jacket, sweater, sweatshirt or lunchbox has gone, please check our lost and found. We have a basket FILLED with expensive looking items that children have lost. Items are very often laid out across the stage for students to see as they walk by for lunch but I do not see many items being claimed. You are always welcome to come check or tell your child specifically what to look for.
