Following chapel the children will be dismissed to their parents to go to the picnic. We encourage you to bring your lunch and join us on the lawn in front of the Edwards House until 12:30 p.m. We will supply drinks and an ice cream treat!
Got Field Day Pictures? If you have any Field Day pictures I would love to get them for use in our next Pelican Post and for slideshows that we use to share with others about our school. If you could get these to me by Friday it would be GREATLY appreciated!
