I
emailed all parents of those students who turned in a donation slip. There were
some overlapping items and I emailed parents about that also. If you
don’t see your child’s name on the above list and would still like to donate an
item not on the list above, please email me at kimberly.stubbs@nn.k12.va.us. Some of you
had asked if volunteers are needed, we are good and don’t need extra help that
day. This is an early dismissal day (12:15pm). Students may wear appropriate pajamas that
day, no body parts showing if they want to.
I would encourage them not to wear their slippers, but tennis shoes that
day. We will also be viewing the Polar
