I have assigned the first two paragraphs of the final draft of the park report tonight and will continue to assign small portions of it from now on.  I sent home a final draft information sheet today for the report.  Please take a look at this as it hopefully will answer any questions you have about the final report.  I've also included a copy of these guidelines below.

We were talking today about Friday's poetry cafe and thought it would be nice to have some treats to accompany our presentations.  If you would like to send in something (muffins, bagels, fruit, etc.), please have your child let me know tomorrow.  I will provide something to eat and apple cider.  Our cafe event will begin first thing at 8:00.  Please come join us for this groovy happening if you can!

Thank you!
