Donations Needed!
Joy Pod is in need of some school-appropriate liquids (may include but not limited to household chemicals, oil, sauce, juice, pop, or milk). It would be okay if the containers have been opened and part of content has been used/poured out. We plan to use collected liquids in inquiry lessons. Please ensure that liquids that you send are in their original containers to ensure that we can handle these in a safe manner. Thank you!

Parents of Joy Pod are invited to join us for our assembly on Friday, November 30th at 11:00 am.
