School Supplies
Thank you for supplying hand soap in the past!  In order to continue to follow health protocols, we are in need of the following in grades 2-4:
  • Paper Towels
  • Disinfecting Wipes
  • Paper Plates (We eat in the classrooms and sometimes need these.)

Music Class
A Message From Mrs. Hubbard & Mr. Wallace About Music Class:

Mr. Wallace is settling into his new Music and Language Exploration class schedules this week.  He has enjoyed meeting all of the children!

He said the number one question was, "Do we get to play recorders?" 😀

Next week, he will schedule lessons for all of the middle school students who want to play a band instrument.

Mrs. Hubbard is doubtful that she will be able to fit piano lessons into Mr. Wallace's school day.

If you would like to consider before  / after school piano lessons, please email Mrs. Hubbard at jhubbard@stclareagw.org.
