I hope that all of the 4th grade students and their families had a blessed Easter and enjoyed some relaxing time off!

We are back and ready to begin the final stretch of our school year.  I explained to the students that it’s important to look to finish out the school year doing their personal best and really utilizing all of the study habits and strategies that they have learned throughout the year.

We can expect to go outdoors for recess most days now that our winter temperatures are behind us.  Please be sure that your child has a pair of sneakers in school to change into on a daily basis.
