Please send enough for 23 students. We will have a small celebration at the end of the day. Continue reminding your child to write in complete sentences and include first and last name along with their number on every paper. Finally, keep practicing the act of contrition with your child. They are doing great in class with it but some need a little extra practice. Thanks and have a great weekend and upcoming week! Mrs. Dugas* r February birthdays z Noah – 7th
