March 27, 2013


Remember that tomorrow is our Green Ticket-earned pajama day/read-a-thon!  Way to go on earning those green tickets for respectful, appropriate choices throughout our building!

For those parents who have wondered how involved being an Exhibition mentor will be, please be assured that you do not need to be an expert, and it would only be about once a week.  Since there will be around 55 groups, the main role of a mentor will be to help your group stay organized!  Please sign up if you can!  We would love to have more parents to be part of this process!
