We will then move over to the gym for fun & fellowship. The book fair will also be open for purchases. Please let Grandma & Grandpa know now, so that they can enjoy the morning with us. If grandparents can’t make it, feel free to ask a “substitute grandparent” to join your child that morning. We are in need of a couple of volunteers that morning to help with set up & to set out refreshments. If you would be able to help, please contact Rosie in the office. Thank you!

FANTASY NIGHT NEWS: With 33 school families, each family will need to work hard at selling tickets. With 300 tickets to sell, we count on all families to get out and sell! The “Early Bird Drawing” is September 18^th (for another ticket or $110). All tickets & money should be handled DIRECTLY through the office/main holders/bank. Do NOT send money or tickets through the Friday folder or through the classroom folder. If you turn your tickets into the office or the bank, remember to let your main ticket holder know that you have done so. Help spread the word that we will open the doors to begin seating people at 5:30 pm (it says 6:00 on the flyer) in order to have everyone completely seated and ready to begin dinner at 6:30 promptly. Refreshments will only be available after 6:00 pm. There will be a F. N. meeting on Monday, Sept. 16^th at 6:00 pm, in the cafeteria. All are invited!
