AFTER SCHOOL AT THE LIBRARY happens on Thursdays from 3:30-5:00 P.M.. Jody Hauser has a small craft planned, and has been serving snack because so many of you are sending snacks. Please keep it up. On fine days, outdoor play is ok as long as children are properly dressed for wet and cold outdoor play.
The most fun way to get to the library is to walk, but we can only do that if a few of you will volunteer to walk with the 13-16 kids who usually come. If you can volunteer to walk, or to help with the craft (no need to do both) let Jody know at 380-1359.
If Jody needs to cancel the program, she will put up a large note on the standard in the front hall of the school as soon as she knows. Please remember to send a note to school so that we know your child is joining us. Let's enjoy winter.
WEDNESDAY AFTERSCHOOL DANCE CLASSES CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

All funds collected will be used to provide emergency relief and clean water in Haiti.
