Mrs. Harkins’ 3rd

Notes from the Teacher* We are putting together a Main Event raffle basket this year. We will be working with Mrs. Perry’s class to fill our basket. THIS IS THE LAST THING we are in need of this year! I know by this point everyone is exhausted! If you are willing to send a beach/pool themed item in to help fill our basket that would be GREATLY appreciated. YOU’RE ALMOST THERE PARENTS!!!
