Timed Addition Test

Wednesday, March 6th

Money is due by Friday, March 8th for the Junie B. Jones play. Money cannot be accepted after Friday as I have to give the theatre a final count. I have been reading the Junie B. Jones books to the class, and they are super excited about this trip. Please be sure to fill out the permission slip & send in the money this week! We still have a couple chaperone spaces available. Chaperones must be on the approved PACE volunteer list.
