(especially compared to the other Kindergarten classrooms). We are putting a list together of what she needs. Is there anyway YOU can help? -- it would be a tremendous help to our new kindergarten class and the kids. Thanks for your help. Please bring your items to the office "for Ms. Hada's Kindergarten" or to Ms. Hada's classroom. Any unused items may be donated to our annual toy drive for the White Mountain Apaches sponsored by the high school in the late fall. Yours, Kathy Yamane parent volunteer
