If you would like to help out our party by bringing treats or attending, please sign below, detach and send back to school. Please sign up by Monday, February 8, 2010. We will probably make a craft and decorate a cookie like at Christmas instead of having tons of cupcakes, cookies, and candies. In the past we had a good idea about the parents getting together and making a goodie bag for the kids to take home. Once again, thank you for all that you do! My parents are the best!
Thanks,
Miss Larsen
