INVITATIONS FOR GRANDPARENTS DAY
We would like to send special invitations to our grandparents (or special friends, if grandparents are not available) to our upcoming Grandparents Day Celebration. We are asking each family to send in a business size stamped envelope addressed to your child's grandparents, so we can mail these invitations directly to them. We need these envelopes to be turned into the school office by March 21st. We are sorry, but we cannot invite parents, due to space limitations.
