What are we learning this week? (March 28th - April 1st)

Things to Remember: -Report Cards: Please be sure that you sign and return your child's report card envelops as soon as possible.

-FULL DAYS: Please note that March 16th and May 25th were originally scheduled to be HALF days, but we have now changed them to FULL DAYS to make up for the snow day in January.

-Field Day T-shirts: A note went home from Coach Jackson regarding Field Day t-shirts. It would be great to have all of our boys order one if you are able! Please return the order form with CASH only as soon as possible!

-Silent Auction: Was a huge success! Our class project went for $400! Thanks so much to Mittie Fox for organizing our class project, and thanks also to all the parents that showed up Saturday night to support the school!
