We forgot to send home our Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday fact sheet! My fault…so sorry! I totally forgot to remind the kids.  We, Zach and I, decided it was okay because the Fighting Irish were playing in the National Championship tonight and some of us might be up late watching???  If your child says to me “I LOVE the Fighting Irish,” before 9:00 a.m. when I see them next, I’ll give them a Smile Buck!!
 
WHoo Hoo! Go Notre Dame!
