Information about First Grade Easter Egg Relay - Letter will be coming home Monday.
Dear Parents,
Friday, March 22nd, the first grade classes are going to have an “egg hunt/relay”. Classes will head to the back field at 12:00 noon.
We will need for you to send in a dozen plastic eggs filled with wrapped candy or a small prize. Please make the contents peanut free and chocolate free
(the chocolate melts)! Please tape the eggs closed. Last year many came apart when they were tossed onto the field. Please turn them in by March 20th. If every child brings 12 they will be able to “find” 12. That way things will be equal. We will need to get a count so we can tell the children how many to pick up.
If you would like to volunteer to hide eggs we need 2 parents per class to take the eggs and line them up in the middle of the back field. Volunteers will need to be on the back field behind our school with the eggs by 11:45. More details will be given to the volunteers closer to the date. Thanks for everything you do.
