DID YOU SET OUT YOUR LEPRECHAUN TRAP ON MONDAY?🍀
THOSE DARN LEPRECHAUNS!!
Kindergarten got a big surprise on St. Patrick's Day. A leprechaun got in their classroom and "decorated" it!
EXTRA SET OF EYES 👀
OUR CHESS CLUB IS AWESOME!
Because of the excitement and interest of our Chess Club, we are in need of an extra set of hands. Our club meets every Thursday from 3:00 - 4:00 PM. If we can have an extra adult to supervise, that would be great. You do not need to know how to play chess, but if you want to learn, what better place!!
If interested, please contact Mr. Keefe
ANY JUNIOR GOLFERS OUT THERE?⛳
RECOGNIZE ANYONE?
DON'T FORGET - COMING NEXT WEEK
