Service Project

I would like to thank all the families who donated money or material for our class service project. I would also like to thank the parents who came in and helped.  I really couldn't have done it with out the help of the Wilkinsons. Thank you!  Mrs. Green was also able to come in and help out.  Thank you!   We had a great time cutting and tying these quilts.  My hope is that the students in my class realized how fortunate they are.  Each student was able to participate in tying a quilt.  They had a lot of fun.  

Have a great holiday and enjoy your time off!

Thanks again!

Mrs. Brown
