House Plants Needed!

Dear Parents,

Help us clean the air and create a warm learning environment for your 3rd Grader by bringing a small to medium potted houseplant to Room 12 this year.

We had a great class picnic!

This afternoon several families from our class show up for our class picnic.

We had a ton of delicious food.


It was a great time to meet other families with kids in Room 12.

Thank You Local Restaurants!

Local area restaurants donated food to our picnic this afternoon. Along with The Fishwife and New Seasons we had food from: Girasole Pizza


Slim's


Thai Cottage


Cha Cha Cha
