Weekly Update for 02/21/17

Because of Winn-Dixie Finale

Our school will be finishing up the One School One Book on Because of Winn-Dixie on Friday, February 24.  As a conclusion of this program we will be watching the movie as a whole school.  Everyone is invited to wear their pajamas on Friday as well.  This movie is rated PG due to thematic elements and brief mild language.  Please sign and return the permission slip giving your child permission to view the movie.  An alternate activity will be available if you are uncomfortable with your child viewing the movie.
