The First Day of School Is Almost Here!

What a beautiful weekend to celebrate Labor Day and the end of summer vacation!  I hope you are enjoying a bit of family time this weekend.  I look forward to seeing those new smiling first grade faces tomorrow morning around 8:15.  A few reminders for tomorrow:

• Tomorrow is our first day of specials in the afternoon.  We will have art with Mrs. denDulk, music with Mrs. Keilian-Boyd and then gym with Mr. DeWildt.  Please remember to bring gym shoes to keep at school if you have not yet stored them in your child's locker. 
• We will have a morning snack and afternoon snack each day beginning tomorrow.  Our 1st grade rooms are designated as PEANUT and TREE NUT free rooms.  Click here for examples of nut-free healthy snacks. Please bring a healthy snack for your child each day.  Your child can eat a second snack or finish up lunch left-overs for our afternoon snack.  
• Your child will be bringing home an orange take home folder tomorrow with important information about our classroom and school.  Please take a moment to read through this information and return the EMPTY folder back into your child's backpack to return (unless forms to return).  Your child will have the morning routine of bringing in the take-home folder every day.  If you have notes/forms to return, this is a safe way to get them to school.
