Dear Families,

We had our first Art Vistas lesson and project. Thank you to all our parent helpers with this project!

If you’re interested in being a chaperone for our field trip on Tuesday, 10/9, please email me back.

Don’t forget to register for the Alta Vista Walkathon.  Even if you can’t make it that day, your child will receive a t-shirt with a $40.00 donation.  The t-shirts are usually passed out in class on the Friday before the event.
