Weekly Update (11/14)

Our Hutchings Canned Food Drive has begun! Each class that donates 200 or more items earns a movie/electronics day in their classroom! So 200 items is our goal! However, 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 will also have Spirit Days along the way! See below or click the link above for more info.

Please see the sign-up for items needed for a few projects we're doing in November. Please send in items as soon as possible, so we can prep! Thank you so much!!   

Last Call for November Book Orders! If you would like to order books for Christmas gifts, please let me know and I'll keep them aside for you to pick up in the office! Books make great gifts!  clubs.scholastic.com class code GZKBK
