What's Happening in Room 30.......

Important Announcements:

• We have a short week this week with a fun field trip to Busch Stadium on Thursday and our Veterans Day Assembly on Friday.  The students need to bring a lunch to school on Thursday because we will be eating right before the field trip in our classrooms.  They should also bring a snack for the afternoon when we return to school.
• Thank you, Mrs. Mallory (Madison's mom) for planning a wonderful Halloween party!  Thank you parents for donating items and helping to execute the well-planned activities!
• Adopt-a-Family 2016 will begin this week!  This week's item request for donating is  Protein/Food Items (a flyer went home last week with each week's donation request).  All items donated will be supporting our very own Crestwood family.
