MY BELONGINGS!
Please send a change of clothes along with underwear and socks in a plastic bag to your child's teacher. We do not have a lot of space to keep extras in our nurse's office and you just never know when kids will need a clean shirt or pair of socks!
Please mark all personal items with your child's name. Lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, coats, etc. This is for all grades!!
