Our 3rd grade Valentine Party is Monday, Feb. 14, 2011. I have posted a list, outside of our classroom, of items that we will need for our party. It will be for lunch on that day. We will need 1 mother to provide each of the following items: pizza and chicken, fruit tray, cookies, cupcakes,and plates and napkins. We will need 2 mothers to provide drinks. If you would be willing to help, please let me know or come by and sign the list outside of our classroom.
