Please note that school will be closed on Thursday and Friday. I wish all families a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude as we pause to count our many blessings.

It was a pleasure speaking to you this week at our Parent Teacher Conferences. Your children are off to a positive start. I count them as one of my many blessings and look forward to our days together, as they continue to learn and grow. Thank you for all of your support!

On a different note, I am asking that you send in an extra sweater/sweatshirt for your child to wear during the day while in class. I often have windows wide open for ventilation in order to refresh the air in the classroom and so it can get chilly at times. Also, as the weather becomes colder, please remember hats, gloves and mittens for the school day for even on cooler days we will venture out for some fresh air and exercise!

If you have questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected].

Bless your week ahead!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Antonia Ryan
