Halloween Class Parties are Coming Up

Have you paid your class party fee yet?

Most room parents are asking for a $20 donation from families to help cover the costs for individual class parties throughout the year (Halloween, Valentines Day, Teacher Appreciation week, and End of Year party).

While this is an optional donation, if room parents don't get enough donations, our classes may miss out on some of these celebrations if there isn't money to cover the treats and activities that make these parties so great! If you can, please donate! We have several room parents reporting that they haven't gotten any donations yet!

By now you all should have had a note sent home with your child from your wonderful room parents. Please complete and return that form ASAP so room parents can get to work on planning their first party--Halloween! If you did not see a form, please contact your child's teacher and they can make sure you get another one sent home.

Volunteers Needed!
