SNACKS!!!! (WE HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY IN OUR ROOM) PLEASE BE AWARE!!!
We like snacks, unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to bring a snack to eat. IF you are able, please send goldfish or Chex Mix in a bulk size for those students that are not able to do so. I will distribute the extra snacks to those who need it.
