Our annual Penny Wars is next week (April 21-25)! The goal is for your class to collect the most pennies! But WATCH OUT! Quarters, dimes, and nickels take away points! Make sure you put those coins in other classes' jugs. Who will be this year's winning class??

There will be no Pre-K tomorrow (Wed. 4/16) or Thursday (4/17) due to the Raleigh County Pre-K Expo!
