“The important thing is to not stop questioning.” – Albert Einstein
It was wonderful seeing most of you on Thursday Night. Being involved in your child’s education is so important. If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Julianne’s mom (Ms. Theis) has volunteered to be our class parent this year. I am sure she is going to be reaching out to all of you for assistance in sending in treats for our class parties. Additionally, I am going to be collecting $10 from each family to cover the cost of supplies for our crafts. A letter will be going home regarding this. Please respond as soon as possible.
