Spell-a-thon: All pledges should be returned to the school by Monday April 18. Book Orders:  Please return by Friday, April 29.  Thank you for last months orders.  Your orders gave our classroom almost $25.00 worth of new books for our classroom.  Earth Day:  is on Friday, April 22.  On Thursday, Gretna Green will be conserving energy by turning off classroom lights.  Students are learning to reduce, reuse and recycle.  Please look on our web link for a fun recycling game.  Have a great week and Happy Easter!
