Next week, we'll be holding a Penny War for Leaps of Love! Bring in spare change to help your class win! Put pennies in your class's bucket to add to your score, and put silver change in other classes' buckets to drop their scores! Each day, the winning class gets extra recess!
Don’t forget students will be roller skating in P.E. starting tomorrow!
