Hello Kind Kids,

I know we are going to have a great day.  You will get to see some one who makes you very happy.  Can you find the hidden clues in this letter that tell you who it is?  You will have to read carefully!

Please order your lunch, read the message and wash you hands like normal.  Next, please complete p.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
