Child and Youth Programs- 1 pg (2)

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The PAC has generously donated the Ziplock bags for your child’s comfort kit.

These have a label space on them for your child’s name.

Please do not put the grade or teachers name on the bag so that these can be re-used for the following year.

Childs Last name, First name

If you have already brought the comfort kit to school please still put your child’s name on the bag and hand back to the teacher. All kits will be transferred to these bags.

The lost and found will be outside today at 2:15 PM.

Thank you,

The Millstream Team
