Grandparent's Day
Friday, September 11, is Grandparent’s Day! We are extending our reservation date to Wednesday, September 9. Adult lunches are $3.25 and tickets are being sold this week. You may send an envelope marked “Grandparent’s Day Lunch” with your payment and the student’s name. Tickets will be sent home with the students in their communication binders. Each class will have a special Grandparent activity in the classroom prior to lunch and PTA will be making family pictures in the auditorium after lunch. The pictures cost $5.00 and that covers PTA dues and a picture. Due to the number of visitors on this day the lunch schedule will be as follows:
