Cafeteria News
Next week October the 7th-11th is Fire Prevention Week and Farm to School Week we would like to do something special in the cafeteria for this week.
On Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday- we would love if we could get some fire fighters to come serve lunch or just walk around, and talk with kids about fire prevention during lunch.
On Wednesday and Friday-if possible we would like to have farmers to come help serve lunch or walk around and talk to the students. We would also like if we could get people to bring in some farm animals for the students to see. If you are able to bring any animals please see Mrs. Palmer. We are hoping to set up a little barn yard Wednesday afternoon.
Thanks so much
