Kinder News,
We had a wonderful week. Here is a snapshot of the last two weeks and some important updates. Please remember to label all clothes…it really helps! We are also running low on emergency snack donations (gold fish, applesauce, other food donation ideas -peanut free). Thank you for all of your support.
Please remember we are performing in the lip sync battle as a class! Please let me know if your student will not be able to attend. We are working very hard to learn the words and moves to our song. Here is the song and dance we are using -if possible perhaps your child can practice at home!

We have t-shirts, glasses, and necklaces for everyone. The kids can wear whatever they want for bottoms (jeans or black pants suggestion).
