Our Book Fair is up and ready for tomorrow!! Don't forget that you can set up an eWallet for your kiddos at the link below. The eWallet DOES NOT give your kid access to your credit card. You preload money into their account, and they won't be able to spend more than that amount.
Don't forget that Grand Pals Day is tomorrow. Grand Pals has to sign up prior to the event. PK-2 is from 9-10:30, and 3-5 is from 1-2:30.
