Buying Snack To ensure your child is being responsible with lunch money please send a note confirming your child can purchase a snack. If your child is using money from their lunch account, only one note for the year is needed.

Classroom Snacks We dont have lunch until 1pm! Since our morning schedule is very long, I allow the students to have a working snack. Please make healthy choices when selecting a snack for your child. Snacks that are messy may interfere with our learning. I recommend healthy finger foods that allow us to continue our reading or writing assignments. Class Blog This year I have created a class blog for you to follow events during the week.
