The Week Ahead
8/29/16
General Notes:
Wednesday we have July and August birthday lunch, where students eat pizza in the office, so for those students with birthdays in July/August, look forward to that lunchtime treat. Thursday is Wacky Dress Day, so send your children to school dressed as wacky as possible (that doesn't mean dressed casually, it means genuine silliness! have fun!). Next Monday is Labor Day and school will be closed!
