We are again in need of paper towels and Kleenex. If you have not donated as yet, these supplies are very much needed. Please ask your child if their spiral notebooks or folders need replacement. Some students have lost supplies from their pouch. They should be able to tell you what they need replaced. Thank you for all you do to help.
