See you tomorrow, Mustangs! Reminder that this is what school lunch is for tomorrow: Chicken Drumstick / Mashed Potatoes / Dinner Roll / Salad / Peaches

A book fair reminder: did you know that not only students like to get books from the book fair, but that teachers do, too? Our teachers have created wish lists, just like your children did this week, for books that they want in their classroom library. If your family would like to help your child’s teacher (or any of the teachers!) in getting some of these books for their classroom, you can find their wish lists here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmChUU0JHAJRGdVjRXRs3mtylaMDS_Z5CYoEjB9h7Ik/edit?usp=sharing or on the library website. Email Ms. Bolwerk if you have purchased a book for a teacher, and you will be entered into a drawing to receive a free book from the fair!

Don't forget about our Virtual Q&A Session tonight from 6:30-7:30 pm on the upcoming Operational Referendum. Here is the link to join in on the meeting: meet.google.com/hdg-uhkv-kze If you have questions, please contact Kellie Bohn at Kellie.Bohn@gcj2.k12.wi.us
