Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (11/28)

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving break! We are still in need of individually wrapped snacks for our classroom morning snack bin. Thank you in advance for your donations! 

PLEASE make sure your child brings their winter gear each day, along with a change of shoes! We need to make sure kiddos have gear to play in the snow. Some families find it helpful to leave a pair of snowpants and boots at school. Whatever works is great!

Next week is the last week of the Hutchings Canned Food Drive! Each class that donates 200 or more items earns a movie/electronics day in their classroom! So 200 items is our goal! We currently have 151 items! The class who donates the highest amount of items to the food drive will be treated to an extra prize! The winning class will choose between a pizza party or silly string party! We have two spirit days left--Hawaiian Spirit Day is this Friday (Dec. 2nd) and Crazy Hair Day is next Friday (Dec 9th)! Please bring a can to participate! Click the link above for more info.
