End of Year Celebrations: Please email Mrs. Fricke the date and time duration when your class end of year celebration will be held AND what areas you plan to use (classroom, playgrounds, etc...) Let her know if you will need anything from Mr. Ward (trash cans, etc....) and if there will be a need to set up a table for visitor tags/sign up so she can alert the office, as well. Mrs. Fricke will compile a calendar and let you know if there are any areas already "booked." Thanks!!!
