Fun to Be Fit Day!

This Friday, September 27

If you ordered a tee shirt, be on the lookout for them coming home this week.  Please have your kindergartner wear it on Friday. We will head out to the track at 1 o’clock for an all school picture at 1:15. This is just for students and staff.  Parents after the picture please feel free to meet us at our meeting spot to walk, jog, or run with your kiddo.  At 2 o’clock we will be finishing up.  We will be walking back to our classroom and there, parents can sign the kids out for the rest of the day.

October starts our Book-It – Pizza Hut reading challenge that runs through March.  Keep track of your kiddo’s reading with the monthly reading log coming home.
