Thank you to those who came and supported us on Friday night!! It was a wonderful show and I am very proud of the children.

My class has been asked to bring in $2 to donate to the Maryknoll Missioners. We also will be writing letters to them.

We are having a small breakfast on Thursday morning. I am asking that everyone either contribute $2 or bring in something.
