Notes from Mrs. Thornton

Lunch Number: Please have your child practice their lunch number on the paper I sent home. They need to
practice until they have it memorized!
Transportation change: If your childs transportation changes please send me a note or an email.
Library: We go to the library every other Monday. August 24 will be our next visit. Please make sure your
child knows their lunch number. They have to enter it to check out a book!
Birthday Policy: Remember, Mt. Carmel policy says that parents are not allowed to bring in food items for
other children. If you would like to bring a treat to each student in celebration of your childs birthday, you
may bring each student in the class a treat bag with non-edible items. No candy or food is allowed.
