Grill Masters Needed
As we prepare for our end of the year awards picnic we have been informed that we will not have the big grill trailer we have used in the past. We are asking for some parents to bring their BBQ grills (charcoal or propane) and help us cook!! We need people to bring their grill to Newhall Park at 10:00 am to start the cooking. We will supply all the food.
Water Balloons/Water Guns

The kids love to play with water balloons/guns at the park. Please bring them already full and also extra water for them to refill. The city has asked us not to use the bathrooms for this. I will have a table for them to bring the water. Smart and Final has the 2.5 gallon water containers for inexpensive.
Communications Boxes
Communications boxes will be at the picnic to pick up any pictures, ribbons, or awards that your child may have earned during the season.

This will be the last chance to pick up these items. If you can not make it to the picnic we will send instructions out next week on how to get the awards.
