Birthday wishes will be sent home a few days prior to a birthday for classmates to wish their peers well!
Birthday Book Donation to our library is now available for our families. If you’d like to donate a book to the library in honor of your child's birthday. There is a website set up so that you can order the book online (from a list that Mrs. Dambman prepared) and you can have a bookplate with your child's name placed in the book. The book is then sent to our library.
