    ATTENTION ALL PARENTS !!!

The real beauty of it is that you can shop for all of these from the comfort of your home. Just fill out an order envelope, drop if off at the school office by noon on Mondays (or Tuesday after Memorial Day) and pick them up on Tuesdays (or Wednesday after Memorial Day) at the end of the school day.
