“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Important Information
Field Day is on Friday, June 7th. A note went home last week indicating the team your child is on. Please make sure that your child brings a water bottle to school every day, and especially on Friday.
Thank you to everyone for sending in clean band shirts and instruments. I am sure Mr. Stainkamp is grateful that he does not have to track anyone’s down.
I continue to be so proud of the Third Grade students. They are such a kind, caring group of students, and I am treasuring our last few days together.
