Planning Ahead: St. Patrick's Day

W.I.P.P.'s 25th annual St. Patrick's Day parade will be Friday, March 7, 2014.  We'll leave the front parking lot at about 9:00 and proceed down North Cromwell to the May Howard Elementary School carpool driveway.  We march around the MHES traffic circle and then return to our front parking lot via the same route.

We will be selling t-shirts again this year.  A paper form was sent home this week, but the information is also below and will be shared via email.

Our 4s Are 100 Days Smarter!

Our five-day 4s have been in school one hundred days.  To celebrate they've been practicing math skills by counting to 100 by ones and tens.  They've been putting their counting skills to good use as you can see below.
