I hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en weekend and had lots of fun trick-or-treating.  We plan to go to the Fulford Estuary on Tuesday morning if the weather is OK. We leave the school at 9:00 and you are welcome to join us. 

On Thursday Johanna Hoskins is coming to the class to do some weaving which should be fun.

A reminder to please send supply money ($26.50)  to school as soon as you can. There are still a few who have not sent it in yet.
