Hi all,

Whoops, Thursday went right by this week.... in fact, FEBRUARY went right by...

THANK YOU!

• Thanks to all of you who showed up on short notice to pack seeds at Toland yesterday! Your time directly benefits the school's bottom line.
• Thanks to the Hanson, Drewry and Hodson families who came out last weekend and made great progress on completing the fence around the garbage and recycling area. It looks so much better!
• Thanks to the Hanson family for generously donating the great soccer goals-- they are WILDLY popular with all the kids!
• Finally, thanks to all of you who volunteer time in the classroom and on the playground, organize fundraising activities, help with class projects, drive for field trips, serve on the board and on committees, tackle chores on the school grounds, etc. We have so many volunteer needs, and we are very lucky to have such a supportive and helpful community of families here!

MARCH PARENT MEETING
Our parent meeting in March is so important we're giving you *two* chances to attend-- a lunch time and regular evening time.
