K & 5th THANKSGIVING LUNCH

Families of our K and 5th grade students are invited to a special, family Thanksgiving Lunch on Thursday, November 10th! No RSVP required. Just show up at your child’s scheduled lunch time. Guest lunch price is $4.25 per person.

Credit cards are not accepted. You can pay with cash, check (made payable to Kincaid Elementary), or add money to your child’s MyPaymentsPlus lunch account.

*******************************************************************

CREATE A BOOK TOGETHER

Make a handmade book together by putting blank pages together and adding construction paper for the cover. You and your child could write a series of books, documenting family memories and funny stories. Ask your child to contribute, in whatever way appropriate, to the writing and illustrations. Discuss appropriate titles and create a collection of “books” for your family bookshelf.
