On Wednesday, October 31st, we will be having our Harvest Party, instead of a Halloween Party.  The children need to come to class dressed as something related to farming or autumn (or something else not scary).  Will the following children please bring a special treat for our party:  Finley Crane, Jack Crouch, Rebekah Ford, and Henley Free.  We divide the class up to have some kids bringing snacks to each party.
