Birthdays

You may send in treats that are easily distributed (i.e. 
cupcakes, cookies, muffins, etc) and purchased from a store (not 
made at home).  If napkins, cups or utensils are needed, please 
supply these as well.  Plan on 22 children at this time.

Volunteers

If you would like to volunteer in the classroom or for field

process takes 4-6 weeks, so please plan to register early in the 
year!!  You must re-register every year!!
