A Note from Mrs. Danley...

Dear Parents,
Our Class Store was a success last Friday! Thank you to
parents who have already sent in donated items for our store!
Students have been doing a great job earning money for good behavior and making good choices. The children are excited about
saving and spending their money.
We are so excited about our 100 days in school. We will be
celebrating this milestone on Wednesday with fun 100 Days activities. Students will be creating a 100 Day design with
Legos and enjoy an 100 Day Trail Mix which they will
use to do fun counting and sorting activities. They will
do some 100 day writing activities and enjoy 100 Day
stories.
Many Thanks, Mrs. Danley :)
