Chocolate has arrived! 🍫

If your student turned in their permission slip, chocolate will be coming home with them today. Each bar is $2.

Please remember:
• Do NOT freeze the chocolate
• Do NOT leave it in a hot car

Once chocolate is sent home, we cannot accept it back—only payment for the box.

Thank you for your support!
