Thanksgiving Party - Tuesday 11/20

In celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to invite parents to eat in the classroom with us. Children will pick up their lunch from the cafe at 11:00 and bring their food back to the classroom. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to join us. Due to the short notice, the cafe will not be able to accomidate too many additional adult meals. If you would like to eat with your child that Tuesday, please donate $3.00 so that we can purchase food to have in the classroom.

I will be sending home a checklist of items needed for our lunch. Please watch for this information to come home. If you can let me know by Friday, November 16th if you will be joining us I would appreciate it. This will allow us to plan accordingly for food and desserts.

I look forward to seeing you there!
