Changes to Easter Party

Easter Party Changes for Fourth Grade

Due to weather conditions, we have decided to cancel our picnic at Penic Park.  Instead, we will have a picnic in our Fourth Grade Hall.

Beginning at 11:00, fourth grade students will have a picnic in the hall and enjoy a delicious chocolate ice cream sundae from DQ.

Students will need a sack lunch, drink, and a towel to sit on.

When students are finished eating, parents may sign their students out with their homeroom teachers.

Thanks,

Fourth Grade Teachers
