Dear Kindergator Parents,      I must apologize about for the confusing payment information on the Art Barn Field Trip form.  I didn't realize that my writing made it difficult to read the amount ($18.00 vs $8.00).  The correct amount for the trip is $18.00 per child .  I am truly sorry for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused.      Thank you to all of the parents who have already sent in their payment.  It would be greatly appreciated, if we can have all permission slips and payments in my this Friday, August 31st.

Our Class Mission Statement In our class, we will be leaders who: · Take care of our school and ourselves. · Follow the rules. · Listen, learn, and do our work. · Solve problems with kindness.  · Never give up, even when it is hard!           Congratulations to Our Leader of the Month for September!!
