Weekend Updates

I just wanted to remind everyone that our class is in charge of a Mexican Fiesta Basket for the Fall Festival. All basket items need to be sent to school Monday. If you would rather make a monetary donation, someone from school will shop for you. We're hoping to make enough money at the Fall Festival to purchase more iPads for our school. Thank you for supporting our school!

Fall Festival is next Friday, October 19th.

Have a super fantastic weekend!

It's a BOY!!

When Jaggar cut the cake tonight, it was BLUE. It looks we'll be adding another sweet, little boy to our household.
