Hansenpalooza - We look forward to our Hansenpalooza fundraising event again this year.  Our class is responsible for creating a "gas and grocery gift card basket".  Thank you for donations in past years, and for future donations to this fundraiser which has generated very significant funds that have greatly benefit our students.  This fundraiser makes a real difference in the lives of our students here at school.  We are still a little short on items for the basket.  Even if you are willing to make a financial donation, that would be helpful.  The School Council is able to go and buy gift cards with those funds for our basket.

Classroom Creations - If you have any glass jars (Mason Jars) at home, if you could please bring them in for our Classroom Creation, that would be great!  Thanks so much!

Hansenpalooza - Early bird ticket sales have begun.  An order form has gone home.  Hope to see everyone there! :)

Have a great evening!
