Canned Food Drive! Classroom Wishlist!

Canned Food Drive
You see that? It's out teensy tiny collection of cans so far. . . We've only had three kids donate! Let's make this pile grow! We have until Thursday to raise ¡MÁS! Let's do it!

P.S. Each donated can means a turn in the cookie walk! So Bring 'em in!


Teacher Wish List!

This year Mr. Kasch and I are hoping that if Santa has time for one extra stop, maybe he can restock us with a few things for our classrooms. ;-)

In case you're one of those parents who wonders, "How can I help?" We'll be keeping this list updated throughout the year if there's ever any items we're in need of. So whenever you have that wonderful question (How can I help?) crosses your mind, just click the link at the right that says "Classroom Wish List." We appreciate all that you do! Thanks 5th grade families!

Miss Baker & Mr. Kasch
