Today, in your child's Communication Journal, I sent home a 2nd grade Scholastic Book Order Flyer.

Our class code is V74JF. I will process orders on the last Friday of the month (August 26th) at 3pm. Please be sure to place your orders before then. Thank you & please let me know if you have any questions!
