Pillowcase Project
Please send 1 new WHITE KING size pillowcase for your child. We will be making a special keepsake for the children. Please send in the pillowcase by Monday, May 1st. If you are able to donate more than one that would be WONDERFUL.
The pillowcases that we have found to be the best price and quality for our project are the ones listed below from Wal-Mart and Target. They are a 2 pack so you can go in with somebody else in the grade level . Below are the links so you can view the pillowcase. You do NOT have to order them online. Purchasing them from the store is fine as well.

Volunteers Needed
Hello parents!
We are looking for volunteers for Diverse Abilities Days, 4/25 & 4/26. During DA Days, students will rotate through stations to learn about the different challenges others face in the classroom and in the world. We'd love for you to volunteer to help run a station during Specials.
Students will learn about these specific topics in each station: ADHD, anxiety, autism, dyslexia, hearing impairment or sensory processing disorder. All stations come with instructions and supplies—it's easy and simple to run, no previous experience or background knowledge needed!
