This year we will be hosting Lunch with Loved One in combination with our February Book Fair! This is an opportunity to come eat with your child and shop the Book Fair during lunch hours. Please refer to the February lunch sign-up to reserve a time. We will have the picnic tables on the patio available (weather permitting) and be setting up additional tables and chairs based on the number of families we have signed up each day.
As a friendly reminder, when you come for lunch it is to sit with your child and to shop the book fair with your child only. We will not be permitting friends to go with other students or families to the book fair. We hope you will be able to join us! You can signup for lunches here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4BAFAA22A3FF2-47551748-february#/
