Friday, October 19^th:

The children will wear their STREAM t-shirt. Kindergarten is wearing lime green shirts. Also, wear gym shorts or school sweat pants with sneakers. Bring a plain white t-shirt for the Race for Education. Write your child’s name on the inside of the t-shirt. They will wear the white shirt over the green one when we begin the Race for Education. Children can bring a lunch or there will be food trucks in front of the gym where they can purchase food. Volunteers are welcome, but please make sure your clearances are current. Please send in the permission slip for Friday as soon as possible. It was in the Thursday folder.
