8th Grade
Parents,
We will be going shopping for our Santa sack students on Tuesday after school. We are going to KMart near Greenville Hospital. Your child needs to let Mrs. Merck know by Monday if he/she will attend so we will know how many cars we will need to help transport everyone. Those going will report to Mrs. Merck's room at 3:15 Tuesday. You can pick your child up at the McDonalds across the street from KMart between 5:00-5:30. Please send money if they want to eat there.
If we need additional drivers, please let me know if you are available to drive.
Thanks.
