This is always an exciting event and an opportunity to pick up some new books! As a reminder, there will be no school for students on Friday, February 23rd. Finally, due to limited space in our cafeteria, students who have visitors for lunch should only have 2 friends from their class sit with them. Please note that if we have numerous visitors at the same time, school staff will ask that only 1 friend sit with your child. Thank you.
