4x Parents:
Happy May Day!  (Where did this year go???)

We are almost all set for costumes, scenery and props for our exciting May 20th class play production of "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon".. however we are asking all of our "VILLAGERS" to bring in to school ASAP a pair of  plain dark colored ( black, grey, dark brown, dark blue) long shorts,  capri pants, leggings, or long pants that can be cut off in dull colors ... please no stripes or sports logos.

We are also looking for a straw mat (like the kind used at the beach) for a prop.

Also remember to check your child's backpacks for latest CAMPING INFORMATION and PACKING LISTS sent home late this week.
