-         We will be having a winter break celebration on Friday, Dec.18<sup>th</sup>. The kids wanted t order pizza and chicken so after investigating I found that we’d need about $4.00 per student. I’ll cover any monies needed after that and well as supply plates and cups. A few students have volunteered to bring refreshments, I only ask that it not be pop, any juice would be fine.

-         I ask that students turn in the $4.00 for food by Wednesday, at the latest Thursday.
