Spring Picture Day is Thursday!

Dear All Star Parents, I'm looking for snack donations for our upcoming spring reading event in March! The theme will be "Spring or Leap Into Reading!" We need a couple bags of these frog gummies, gummy worms, and chocolate pudding cups. If you are able to donate any, it would be greatly appreciated! You can drop them off at the front office or have your student bring them in. All items should be available at Walmart. I have attached picture of the frog gummies. Thank you so much!

A huge thank you the officers from the Springfield Police Department who came in to read to our kindergarten classes as part of the Books and Badges program this morning! The kids had a blast listening to the story, doing a craft, and asking the officers about their career!
