Someone is missing 2 blue St. Julian sweaters. They are both blue. One has the white logo and it has the person's initials in it the other has the older SJS logo I believe the logo is red. Please look over your child's uniform sweaters and make sure they have the correct ones. It is easy to make a mistake and grab the wrong one since they all look alike.

Ask your child if their book cover is too big or too small. A few children need a different size for their SuperKids Reader.
