Dr. Seuss Day is just around the corner!
It’s time to start searching for your Cat in the Hat hat for our annual celebration. If you are new to the school, you will receive a new hat on Dr. Seuss Day. If you have received a hat in the past but cannot locate it, there will be a few available for sale in the office for the bargain basement price of $5.00 each.
Also, part of our celebration this year will be a used book exchange. Please bring any books from your personal library to trade at the exchange. You are welcome to bring any book. It does not have to be a Dr. Seuss book. Please give the donated book to your classroom teacher as soon as possible. All students will select a book to take home at the end of the day. FEEL FREE TO BRING MORE THAN ONE BOOK IF YOU HAVE EXTRAS!
