Year End Party List

Year end party is on Tuesday, June 5th.

Please note that there are 25 students in the classroom. We ask that you only bring 25 pieces of your item so as not to have more leftover than necessary.  Also there are NO NUTS allowed in any of the food. due to existing severe nut allergies. There are no cakes allowed in our classroom.

Below is a list of things students have brainstormed to bring for the party.
We have put it together so that we do not have everyone bringin in the same food and so that we don't have only sugar all day.  We do not want to have a tummy ache - It would ruin the fun of the party.

Please check with your parents and tell me whether you can bring what you have volunteered for.  If not then pick 2 things that have not been chosen from the list that you can bring and we can confirm it at school on Sunday.
If you have not yet volunteered what to bring.  Please look over the list with your parents and pick two things you are willing to bring or a suggestion and on Sunday we can update the list.

Remember Pop, Soda and Gum is NOT allowed at school.
