Cooking Money
In the first Kindergarten newsletter, I discussed cooking/craft/Science money donations. If possible, I asked that each family donate $5 monthly, to support our classroom cooking activities. So far we have been able to enjoy our apples, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees, Pete the Cat goodies, dinosaurs, pirate treasure/pirate teeth, and friendship salad. We have additional cooking/craft/Science activities planned, but without your donations it will be difficult to continue. So, if you have not sent your donation, please contribute during the month of October. Please send it in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and label it “cooking money”. If you would like to pay for the year all at once that is also an option, whatever works best for you. Thank you to all who have contributed thus far; we would not be able to do this without you. Remember to make checks to, Walnut Elementary.
I appreciate your support of your child’s education. I am looking forward to the rest of the year. If you have any questions, feel free to call me, stop by or e-mail me at shdias@turlock.K12.ca.us . Don’t forget to check our class website for weekly updates/news!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dias
