Yearbooks and End of Year Balances
Strawbridge payment envelopes and flyers for yearbooks will go home this week. Students will be allowed to look at their yearbook but will not be able to take it home until payment is made. If a student owes money from other school items (lost books, pictures, etc.) even if the money is sent in for the yearbook, they will not be sent home until all outstanding balances are paid. Please be sure to return the envelope with payment or payment information if it is online. There is a place to write the online confirmation code on the envelope.

Dioramas
Thank you parents for helping the first graders with their animal habitat projects. The students had a great time showing them off to each other, explaining what they did and answering questions. This week, the kindergarten classes will be visiting the first graders to see what they did. The older students will be coming to visit as soon as EOGs are done. We will send the Dioramas homes this week.
