1^st Grade Expo:  “Every Quilt Tells a Story”

Please put Tuesday, April 17 on your calendar.  This will be the first grade’s expo night.  Students will need to arrive at 6:00 and the expo will run 6:15-7:00.  Each student will have an important job that night.  We will hold the raffle for our classroom quilt with the money raised being donated to Christian Outreach.  Our class empathy books will also be available for pre-order on this night.  More information will be coming as once we return from Spring Break.

Donor’s Choose Photography Permission Slip

Attached to this Morgan's Memo is a Donors Choose Photography Permission Slip.  This slip will give me permission to post pictures of our class using the items donated to our classroom through Donors Choose.  We have been fortunate to have a book case donated and currently have a project listed for funding, which would allow the purchase of 6 sets of headphones.  If you would like more information on this or would like to donate, please visit our class’ site at the address listed below.
