**For Your Information:** **(New items and flyers posted this week.)** =====
 * **Remember: Please Join us at Mrs. Parrish's Retirement Party, May 1st, 3:00 pm, MultiPurpose Room.** We are having a celebration to honor her dedication and commitment to our school and students. We also would like to encourage you to send in notes of thanks and words of appreciation from your family. There will be a box in the school office to collect these note cards, or you can bring them on the day. We will be working with ALL the students in school on a special book for Mrs. Parrish, so these notes of best wishes and kind words are more from you as parents. Questions?
