First Grade will be having a Fairy Tale Parade on Friday, January 6th, at 8:30am to celebrate the end of our Fairy Tale Unit.  Please have your child come to school dressed as their favorite fairy tale character.  Your child may wear their costume over their clothes.  Please do not go out and buy a costume for your child.  You and your child can make a homemade mask and/or costume with items you have at home.  This should be fun.not stressful!
The parade will start at 8:30am and we will walk all around the school.  We would love for you to come and cheer us on!
