Some Reminders—Remember the correct way to enter and leave the school grounds.

-Check your child for head lice.

-Put names in coats, on book bags and lunchboxes.

-Please pull up to the orange cone in the mornings when you let your child out.

-Display your pickup number in the window.

Library News—Thanks to Susan Coutta for donating 2 books from her home collection. Please remember to save Campbell’s Labels and Boxtops for Education. If you have the time, please cut the label so that the front of the label is saved with the name Campbell’s showing. Also, the boxtops can be trimmed before sending - if you have time. If not, I will take care of it. I received a letter from the Boxtops office this week stating that we collected 4,090 Boxtops last year. If we collect at least 8,250 Boxtops by March 30, 2002, we will receive a bonus check of 70.00. Please ask your family and friends to help save these items. Thank you!! Helen Rose
