Little Acorn Mascots! 
Our school has two new furry friends!  I would like to introduce Sam & Sally, they are the cutest, cuddliest, friendliest squirrels who would like to travel with your family on vacations and special trips!  They really want you to take pictures of them when you visit really cool locations, then we will share those pictures on our website and Facebook pages!  If you would like Sam or Sally to accompany you on your next trip, just ask Katie!
