This year our class is sharing the cake walk with Mr. Shields. Volunteers are off course wanted as well as needed, if you would like volunteer please email me and I will let you know when we need some help.  Parents we are also in need of candy to hand out for the Harvest Fest, please bring in some extra candy for the Harvest Fest and your student will receive some prizes.
