Important Information

The Christmas Pageant was great! I am so proud of the Third Graders! They did a fabulous job memorizing their lines and singing their songs. Thank you for all your help preparing them and creating their costumes.

Our last day in 2023 is on Tuesday, December 19th, and then we return on Tuesday, January 2nd. I am combining the end of December and the beginning of January class notes.

We are having our class party on Tuesday, December 19th. Thank you to our class parents for making the necessary arrangements.

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