Mrs. Couvillon’s Class

Click on the link below to view this month’s snack calendar.
Please note that your child might have snack day more than one time each month.

On 9/2/10, I made a revision to this calendar. If you saw this calendar before this date, the revision is to correct that there is NO school on 9/6/10 due to Labor Day. My original snack calendar had people listed to bring snack on that day. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused if you checked this calendar before. Please see the link below to view/print the calendar.

Hello parents,

I need a room mom for my morning class. Currently, I do not have anyone who has offered to take the position. A room mom would help with our booth at the Halloween Carnival, other parties we have on holidays, and some other things that I might need during the year.

Send me an email or a note in your child’s folder if you will accept this position to help me and my class with these fun days and some other events during the year.

Thank you and God bless,
Mrs. Jeanie Couvillon
