The book fair will be open all day Friday for classrooms and parents to peruse.
FOOD TRUCK
Stop and grab some supper before you head home for the night! The Affine Food Truck will be parked on the basketball court near the Red Barn... they will have family friendly food choices at reasonable prices!
Carpooling HEADS-UP
I have been asked to put her information in the Community Memos as well as the Newsletter - in case you are asked about it, I wanted you all to have a heads up.
This is for the 2015-16 school year. She plans to do all of the coordinating (figuring out who lives by who, or is it whom... and exchanging their info) over the summer. She will also have a sign-up at Earth Fest. Interested families can email her name, address, phone number, number of kids and ages to formikah@msn.com.
Feel free to post this in your classroom newsletters too if you would like.
*DISCLAIMER: Oak Farm Carpooling will NOT look like this image, but it caught your attention, right?!
