Each student will need one egg carton that holds only a dozen eggs. We will be decorating these at school. Please do not decorate them at home. In addition, your child must provide 12 plastic filled eggs for our egg hunt. These eggs should include individually wrapped candy, small toys, or other small prizes. Please do not purchase the large eggs as they will not fit in the cartons. Please also be aware that if the temperature is very warm the day of the hunt, that chocolate will melt. Both eggs and cartons are due on April 1st. Please do not send them in before March 30th as we have limited space to store these items. Also, in the event of rain, egg hunts will be held inside the gym and the times will be determined by administration. An additional letter about our party and supplies needed will be coming home this week as well.
