IF YOUR DISH CONTAINS NO MEAT, WRITE "VEGETARIAN" IN GREEN.

**Talk to your family about what you are bringing so that you can let me know in class on Monday or Tuesday (depending on when I see you for a block period). I need to know what you're bringing to make sure we have enough of each category! (No one would want too many forks and not enough chicken, right?)

Enjoy this sunshiny weekend!
