Upcoming Week

This is a BIG week in First Grade! 

Tuesday is our 101st day celebration AND our in-school performance of Pajama Party!! Remember to send Firsties in PJs with a stuffed animal on Tuesday. 

**Wednesday is our main performance of Pajama Party at St. Joe High School. Please arrive by 5:35! You will not want to miss this! Students need to wear pajamas and bring a stuffed animal.  Upon arrival, please wait in the lobby until the previous show ends. Students should remain with parents until otherwise instructed by Mrs. Richards (or another teacher).

**Keep in mind that parking can be challenging at the High School, particularly if multiple events are happening. Please allow extra time.
