Some mom's will supply some cheese pizzas, cupcakes and drinks on that day for lunch. If you child would like to eat a sack lunch on this day, that is fine, also.
No charge for the pizza party, but if you want to send in a donation of $1-2, I will send it to the mom's that are doing this, to help with the cost.
