Drop and Walk School Day
Just letting you know that Monday is a Drop and Walk day.  You don't have to do anything just letting you know.  The purpose is to show parents that they can drop their student off outside of the school parking lot and kids can walk a short distance.  Any student dropped off there on Monday will get a prize.
