Notes:
  • Last week's Celebration of Learning was a great success!!  I had the best turnout I've ever had so thank you, thank you, thank you to the parents and students who were able to come and made the night awesome.
  • We still need a couple of parent volunteers to join us on our Helen Schuler field trip on Thursday afternoon.  We leave the school at noon on the bus.  You're welcome to join us on the bus or meet us there.
