Please do not send toys from home to school unless it is your child’s snack/show and tell day. The toys have been coming out during carpet time and rest time, and they have been a big distraction to the other children. Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Blankets and pillows may be sent to school for nap time as long as they can fit in a large, seales ziplock bag.
