Sweatshirts and Sweaters:  
Please label all sweatshirts and sweaters.  No iron clothing labels are a great way to do this.  You can write your child’s name on them, they stick on (no ironing), and stay on in the washer and dryer.  Martha Stewart makes a good one.  I got some at Staples years ago for my children.
Snack Money:
Please bring a labeled ziplock baggie with snack sale money for your child if you would like them to be able to purchase something on cookie sale or healthy snack sale days.  Many of you have already done so.  Several children need more money.  Come check with us and we will let you know  if your child needs more spending money.
Pet Photo:
Due Monday 9/28/15.  Please bring in a photo of your pet.  We are making a poster for the Blessing of the Animals Mass.
