Friday, September 28^th

The green order forms went home last week, you do not need to order a

 tee shirt to participate but many children do order them.  If you order one, 

please send it in a sealed labeled envelope, checks can be made 

payable to McBain Schools.

On that day, we meet at the track at 1 for a school wide picture and then we walk, 

jog, run on the track for a half an hour starting at 1:30.  Parents are welcomed 

to come and join us and walk with us.  Last year, after it was over parents were 

able to sign their children out early, at their children’s classrooms.  So, mark

 your calendars if you can join your sweet Kinder on that day!
