Muffins for Moms was magnificent! Thank you to Dawn Beal for coordinating this; Wow! Thanks to the moms, the aunts and the grandmothers, the volunteers, teachers and staff.

We are excited to host our Muffins for Moms this morning! Because of the number of responses, we have split the group in half. You should have received a paper with your designated time (7:00 or 7:30). In general, it is the firat half of the alphabet at 7:00 and the second half at 7:30. Please make every effort to come during your designated time.
Additionally, we are seeing an increase in flu-like illness at school and in the community. We know that you want to participate with your child; however, if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or out of season allergy symptoms, we ask that you do not attend. While you will be missed, we want to do what we can to help ensure the health of our families.
