Hello Hopper Families!
Time flies when we are having fun. With another great week under our belt, we are now looking forward to this week's events. Box Tops collection, picture retake and Fall festival are all this week! We need your help with donations or volunteering. As you already know, our library still needs storage bags for our kids to carry the books home. We also have Sign Ups for the Fall Festival. Please remember that the children have a blast at this event and there's no entrance fee. We need your help to make the evening a success! Hold on, we still didn't talk about Red Ribbon Week, where our children will learn to say "No" to drugs. We have all this information and more below. Read on!
LIBRARY: Have you sent in storage bags for our Library books yet? These bags are given to the students to protect our library books when they carry it home. We need an brand of the Slider Jumbo Storage Bags 2.5 Gallon. Just send a box to school with your child or drop it off at the office.
