Team Spencer is trying to get the word out to Georgetown kids that they can buy wristbands. Students are selling these bracelets around school and have plenty to offer.
If you are interested:
You can buy a Spencer bracelet too for just $2.00.
A reminder that we have our Marco’s Pizza Party on Friday for lunch. The students will be given two pieces of pizza to eat. This is thanks to the families that order pizza from Marcos on one of our Georgetown pizza nights! 🙂 The students will need to bring their own drink or order milk from the school lunch room.
Thank you!
Our Marco’s pizza party will be this Friday April 19th. We will eat lunch in our room after lunch recess time. Please bring your own beverage. 🙂
********************************************************************
Cupcakes will be sold to grades 3-5 on April 19 (this Friday).
Money will be collected through Thursday of this week. IF you sent in money last week, it has been saved as a pre-order.
This will be the LAST day that cupcakes will be sold. An original post stated that they would be available on Fridays through May 3, but this has changed.
Thank you for your support!
