International Festival

Good Morning Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes and gifts. I appreciated them very much. 

Please take a look at a few pictures from the International Festival parade and other events in our class.

Field trip to the Zoo on Thursday:

Parents – Please send your child to school with their red Roberts shirt on, comfortable walking shoes, and a disposable sack lunch.

Chaperons – please be here by 9:00 am on Thursday. We will load the buses between 9:15 – 9:25.  I will give you a list of names (3-4 students in a group) so that you know who you will be in charge of for the day. Please bring a large tote bag to carry lunches for your group of students as well!

We are scheduled to attend an adventure class in the Brown Education Center with Ms. Medbery’s Class at 11:00. Please meet me outside of the Brown Education Center at 10:45 with your group.

We will start loading the buses to go home at 1:30. Please meet me back at the front gate by 1:15.
