100th Day of School

It's finally here!!!  The 100th day of school will be this Thursday, January 31st!  We are set and ready for a fun day of celebrating!

We will be doing rotations and celebrations inside our classroom for the celebration and need your help with some materials and supplies.  We will not need any parent volunteers, just supply donations.  Please let me know via your child's folder or MRSAEvents if you are able to send in the following:

• 40 fruity life savers (I think that's a couple rolls) 
• 1 box Mike & Ikes candy
• A couple boxes of cereal with a hole (Fruit Loops, Cheerios of any flavor, etc.)
• ANY treats/snacks to make a trail mix (can be opened or not)
• marshmallows, cereal, popcorn, pretzels, goldfish, raisins, M&Ms, etc. are good suggestions.  Remember: NO NUTS
• 20 Tootsie Roll Pops
• 1 big tub Crisco solid shortening (for our penguin activity)

Miss Crowther and I will be providing the materials for the crafts, celebration hats, materials to make and frost cupcakes, etc. 

Please sign-up or send in your items by Wednesday so I have time to go to the store and purchase the remaining ingredients.  THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!
