Lost and Found

Baylee from fifth grade has lost her good hooded front zip navy sweatshirt.  She did have her name on the inside tag and is hoping a child has mistakenly picked it up either on the K-5 playground or in the fellowship hall.  Please check the tags of the jackets with this description to see if one might have Baylee's name written on the inside.
