First Grade Friday News - April 1


Chapel offerings through April 3 will go to Habitat for Humanity.  We will raise money to help build a home for a family here in Little Rock.

I hope that parents can join us for one or both of our final two field trips.  On April 15, grades k-3 will spend the day at the P. Allen Smith Farm at Roland.  On May 7, our Nature Club (kdg. and 1st grade) will go to the Nature Center downtown and picnic at Riverfront Park.  All parents are welcome.  Let me know if you can help drive.

Spring pictures are Tuesday, April 2.  Individual pictures will be taken of students who have purchased packages in advance. Class pictures will be taken including all students in the class.  Two order forms were sent home this week – one for individual pictures and one for group pictures.  Orders must be returned to school by Tuesday.  Children may wear school uniforms or nicer clothes – no jeans.
