I am asking you to PLEASE refrain from purchasing cupcakes for our class. Mini cupcakes, pretzel nuggets, cookies, ice cream cups are all fine. Ideally, I would prefer a healthy snack. Please be sure to clear the date with me or Mrs. Kulp. You are welcome to come in at snack time to celebrate with the class and bring a special story from home to read to the class as well. Your child will be given our class mascot for the week and the journal that comes with him. Each child will have the opportunity to draw and write in the journal.
