Attention Layne 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Families,

We have spoken with Kona Ice and they have agreed to rescheduling to tomorrow, which is Tuesday 11/25.

Only 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be participating since this is a reschedule for the technical difficulties they were experiencing on Friday and resulted in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades not being able to participate. It will be $5 just like always.

Thank you,
Layne Elementary
