SUMMER CAMP!!
FRUIT, FLOWERS AND/OR GUINEA PIG SNACK LISTS
FOR 2025-2026 CLASSROOMS
On Tuesdays of each week, a different family will be assigned to bring a fresh fruit snack for their child's class -- enough for one snack for your class only. In Mrs. Nicolardi/Mrs. Weaver's & Mrs. Kelsey's room we'd also ask that you purchase some inexpensive cut flowers to be used for decoration and flower arrangement creation. In Ms. Albrecht's class we ask that you supplement the fruit with a favorite vegetable for Mia the Guinea Pig.
The list may be modified during the school year, so please check back to see if an update has been posted. You will receive an email if there is a change.
List for each teacher available here!
You may download your classroom list by selecting the link below:
