2nd Grade Easter Egg Hunt

Our Easter Egg Hunt will be on Thursday, April 2, at Julie Sanders' home.  The students need to bring an Easter basket (no eggs).  The food, activities, etc. have been taken care of.  We will be having lunch there.  We will have our tests and classwork the first part of the day and will be leaving school around 11:00 a.m. to go to her house and coming back right before school lets out.  I need 3-4 parents to transport students to and from the party.  Please e-mail me ASAP if you can.  Please also include the number of students your car will hold.  At this point, I have had 1 parent let me know that they can help with transportation.  A flyer was sent home on Monday with this information also.

The address is 218 Palos Verdes Drive, Troy.

Thanks!
