What’s missing?

Where’s your jacket? How about your hat, your mittens, lunch box or boots? Probably in the lost and found box at school. Please make an effort to check the box, as all unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity soon. 

Parents: please be sure to label all of your child’s belongings. Labeled items found in the lost and found will be returned to their owner. Thanks for your help.
