‼️ Attention Volunteers for Fun Day Tomorrow‼️

If you’re planning on taking your child home with you at the end of the day, you must send a note in the morning. It’s too confusing and makes it very stressful for our front desk staff to coordinate it last minute. You will not be able to get your children until dismissal is called at 3:25.

🤪 Dismissal + Fun Day = CHAOS

Thank you for understanding! 💜💛

🎉 FUN DAY IS TOMORROW! 🎉

☀️ It is supposed to be sunny & very warm and most of our day will be spent rotating outside. Please make sure your kids dress appropriately for the sunshine! Sunscreen in the morning may be a good idea! 😎

🪅 Students will eat breakfast & lunch at school as they normally do.

💬 All day and morning volunteers should arrive to the school by 8 AM. Please park in the parking lot at the entrance of the school. Children of volunteers are welcome to come with you to school, but cannot go to their classrooms until 8:20. We will have a cooler of bottled water. Please bring something to share for lunch.

🤩 See you tomorrow!!

THREE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL! 🤪
