1. Dear Parents of Room 10/110 at Parkview School From Ms. Weiner and Ms. Yang 393-2775 We are going to learn about the following celebrations that other cultures participate in around the world, throughout the rest of the year. We are also going to learn about these special days we have in school. We were hoping that the parents in Room 10/110 would adopt a special learning day and send a special treat or food that goes along with that day. If you are knowledgeable or celebrate that day in your family perhaps you could also come in and tell us a little about it. The following are the list of days we have coming up.
