NEWS
We had such a great Spirit Week! The children were so excited to see what each other were wearing each morning.
February begins next week, and it is a busy month before winter recess. We will learn about Groundhog Day this week.
Please remember to send warm outerwear for your child as we have been fortunate enough to get outside for recess most days.
Have a great week and as always, contact me with any questions or concerns.
