     Things to Know: 

Friendly Reminder:

Please send your child to school with a healthy snack each day! Some parents have been generous and donated extras, HOWEVER once the extra snacks arrive, suddenly many students "forget their snacks" and the graciously donated snacks disappear immediately. For this reason, we will not have extra snacks any longer. If your child forgets a snack - don't fret! He or she is always able to grab a free breakfast from the cafeteria to eat at snack time. If you could kindly have a conversation with your child about how the snack that they packed is the snack that they should eat. :-) Thank you!

Somerset Social:

The Somerset Social is coming soon--March 1st!  The following message is from the Somerset Social Committee. They are in need of your help!

Dear 1st Grade Parents,

This basket is all about inspiring creativity and getting those little hands messy! We envision a collection of supplies perfect for budding artists, including air-dry clay, sculpting tools, paints, and a book filled with inspiring pottery ideas. This is a fantastic opportunity to support our school while giving someone a truly unique and engaging gift.
