FUN STUFF:
On behalf of the Somerset PFG Read a Thon Committee and Raising Cane's, we wanted to send a huge congratulations to you and your incredible 1st grade students!
Your class achieved the highest average minutes read per student across the entire 1st grade! That is an amazing accomplishment and shows how much your students love reading.
As the top-performing class, your 1st graders have won the celebratory Chicken Finger & PJ Party, sponsored by Raising Cane's. *I have confirmed with Raising Canes they do not use any peanut or tree nut products in their food.
THIS PARTY WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12!

Lice:
Unfortunately, there have been many cases of lice reported at Somerset recently. Please be diligent in checking your child’s hair and talking with them about the importance of not sharing hats, getting their head too close to others, etc. so we can prevent the spread. There is an information sheet in your child’s Take Home Folder. In addition, the following link is a great resource for checking for lice and how to treat it. https://myliceadvice.com/my-lice-advice-videos-and-tutorials/
