The monsters were fed 20 POUNDS of candy today!!

Kinder is REALLY coming for 1st Grade’s title! 1st Grade, watch out… you’re only 4 lbs ahead! 👀

Next week is FALL BREAK, so let’s get these monsters FED before we leave! We need them full enough to hibernate while we’re away… because nobody wants them wreaking havoc in the school! 😂
