Friday is Warrior Walk!  We will be walking from 1:30 - 2:20.  We would love for you
to come out and cheer us on!  Today I am sending home your student's water bottle.  Please
wash them and put your child's name on it in sharpie.  They can bring their water bottles
on Friday full of water to drink during the walk.  Their Warrior Walk shirts will come
home on Thursday.  Our grade level color is black and my class flag is white.  So if
they were black and white we are covered.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
