Kona Ice
The Kona Ice truck will be back at Stonegate this year on the last student day (June 1). A bright orange half-sheet of paper went home with the kids today with more information. Please note that there are two different days mentioned on the sheet. Kona Ice will be at Stonegate on Monday, June 1st. If your child is interested in purchasing a kona ice, please send money in an envelope along with the size you want them to purchase. I've included a picture to give you an idea of the sizes. The only size not pictured is the "Kiddie Kona."
