I am very excited to have you see what your child has been learning this year! Kindergarten will be sponsoring Movie Night on March 23. Lets have a great big crowd. Concessions will be sold. Kindergarten registration is March 29 from 3-7 in the Cafeteria. You will receive all forms that night that can be completed on the spot.

Circle Drive Information and Requests

.

Parents, grandparents and visitors. Please help us keep our students safe by NOT parking in the circle drive between 7:00-8:30 in the morning. You can park in the parking slots at any time. Parked cars create traffic jams Math Problem of the Week and make the circle drive an unsafe spot for kids who are leaving their cars. If you have things to unload, please use a parking slot. We will be asking those who park to move their car to a slot or to not leave their car.

So, they joined the party of eight and continued on. The climbers decided that each of them should use the same amount of food each day as they had originally planned; however, they will have to cut their trip short because the food will run out sooner. The food will last for 12 more days. [Type a quote from the document or the summary of an interesting point. You Originally, there were 8 15, or 120 shares Answer: of food.
