Dear McNamara Families,

Thank you for your generosity in donating socks for Socktober! We collected 876 pairs of socks total that we are excited to donate to PEACE inc.

Here are a few important reminders for the coming week:

November 4 - No School (Parent Teacher Conferences)
November 5 - McNamara Community Cafe

Please remember to schedule a conference with your child's teacher to discuss their progress in the classroom.

Have a great week!

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found is growing! Please take a look and ask your child to pick up any of their items this week. The tables are located by the cafeteria. If you are here for conferences on November 5, feel free to stop by and look for any missing items!
