Important Information

The Christmas Concert was great! I am so proud of the Third Graders! They did a fabulous job singing their songs.

As an early Christmas gift to all, I am not assigning homework this week. We will be completing it and reviewing for our spelling test during school hours.

We are having our class party on Friday. Thank you to our class parents for making the necessary arrangements.

Our last day in 2024 is on Friday, December 20th, and then we will return on Monday, January 6, 2025.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
