*Special Announcements*
*Monday I will have the students bring home their colored pencils, if they have them. Please do not allow your child to bring them back to school. All of the children were given a new pack of crayons after Christmas. The colored pencils need to be sharpened repeatedly. We cannot do this because they ruin the pencil sharpeners and it takes a lot of class time. Thank you for your help.
