I will be getting pizza fur the students for lunch, and if they would like to bring snacks to share with each other they are welcome to as well, we will be eating together in our classroom as a "last day of school" party. Mia's birthday party will also be held that day, so kids are very excited. No uniforms either on Friday! Any casual dress you'd like to wear is ok. Maybe bring an extra shirt if we get sweaty playing outside.  Dismissal is at 4:00 pm.
