 OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO:

• All of our room parents who provided great holiday treats for the classes.
• The many students, parents, Mrs. Bowman, Mr. Salvaterra and Miss Kilpatrick who participated in the Presents for Patients collection and presentation at Inn-Conn.
• Staff, students and parents who contributed in making the Fourth Grade Gift Shop projects a big success. The classes were able to donate $125 to each of the following organizations:  Animal Protective League, Salvation Army, Shop with a Cop, Conneaut Military Support Group, Hospice, Conneaut Food Pantry,  and CLYO.

JOIN US FOR LUNCH

 Dear Parents, Grandparents and Guardians,

                You are invited to have lunch with your child during his/her scheduled lunch time.

                Each month throughout the year will be designated for certain classes to have guests in for lunch.  You may visit on any day during that month.  We ask that you notify the school three days in advance to let us know whether you will be purchasing a school lunch or bringing your own lunch.  (The cost of the school lunch for adults is $3.25 or $3.75 with milk.)  Please plan the lunch visit for you and your child only.  Do not bring food for students other than your own.

                Below is the scheduled month for each classroom and the lunch period time.  Please use the attached form three days before you plan to have lunch with your child/children.  We look forward to seeing many of you throughout the year.
