1st Grade Weekly Update
November 1-5
A Note From the Clinic **IMPORTANT**
The clinic is running EXTREMELY low on masks and backup clothes and cannot take any donations. Please help our clinic out by making sure your child's backpack has a plastic bag with the following when they come to school each day...
- 2 back up masks or more
- 1 shirt
- 1 pair of pants
- 1 pair of underwear
- 1 pair of socks
**If your child needs to use these backups, please make sure to replace them :) *
Thank you so much for your help! This will help in case of an accident (playground, lunchroom, bathroom, etc.)
