We are having lots of non-uniform days this week! Tomorrow is our sports jersey day and Friday we are having a 50's day. "Fifties Day" is a Kindergarten and Grade One event, so the Grades Ones will be dressing up, as well as participating in activities along with the K class and the other Grade Ones. Since it is nice to celebrate things as a class, the Grade Twos will be allowed to also dress up, but will be doing different activities during the day. You should see a note in your child's backpack today.
