Hello Parents! We will have the Icy Does It truck with us tomorrow. Be sure that your student has the exact amount of money for their order tomorrow. Unfortunately, students will not be able to call home if they forget their money.

These creative students read a book of their choosing. Then, they wrote about the characters and plot. Finally, they chose a character to turn into a PUMPKIN! We celebrated their hard work by making pumpkin pie in a cup at a pumpkin party.
