A note from Mrs. Bosworth -
I am so excited for the Oct. 5th PTA Performance for 2nd Grade!  I have one small request:  One of their songs needs a kazoo. I was trying to purchase it for them, but while one kazoo is cheap, 180 of them is not.  Could parents please send in a kazoo for their child to use for the performance on Oct. 5th?  Please bring it in by Monday, Oct. 2nd.  Students will use them for rehearsals that week.
