Here are some of the pumpkin treats we sampled this week in case you get the urge to do some weekend baking. The muffins with the cheesecake filling frosting and the seeds seemed to be the favorites for sure! Just know that we swapped traditional flour for almond meal baking mix to make all the recipes gluten free.

Kindergator Update 2.7.20

On The Last Day of School

No backpacks or lunchboxes are allowed for the last day of school. We will send home all paperwork on Monday and Tuesday so please clean out your child's binder each day. If you child is bringing a lunch on Wednesday, please make it a sack lunch. (And see below for more lunch details.) Kindergarten through 2nd grade awards day will be Wednesday, May 22nd at 9:30. Every child in our class has earned at least one award, so we hope you will all be there to see them receive it. Please plan on arriving early as parking will most likely be an issue that day. After the ceremony, we will have a class picnic on the back playground. Please let us know if you intend to bring a lunch in for your child that day or have them purchase one from the cafeteria. Addison has a last day tradition of honoring the fifth grade graduates with a walk of honor and then giving a big fun send off to the buses. Please consider having your child stay for the entire day Wednesday and /or riding the buses home...
