We are adding coconut to the list of unsafe foods.  Please do not send in foods containing coconut nor those that are made in a facility that processes foods with coconut.  We find that Entenmann’s little bites tend to contain coconut so please make sure to check the label. Thank you so much for your cooperation in keeping our classroom nut and coconut free!

Beach Towels:

In Kindergarten B we end our day on Fridays with “Towel Time.”  The students pick an activity to engage in while sitting on their towels and socializing with each other. 

I have placed the towels in large zip lock bags (labeled with each child’s name) to be stored in the classroom.  I will send the towels home periodically to be cleaned and returned to school.  The children who attend CARES will continue to keep their towels in their backpacks.
