Please send your child in with a reusable water bottle each day. Sweaters are necessary as well if the air conditioner gets turned on in our classroom!
Thank you!
It is the final full week of school and the children are mostly excited, but, as with any “ending,” it is bittersweet! We will enjoy these remaining days together. This year’s journey has been different. It was marked by uncertainty at times, but in the end, we were blessed in so many ways. I truly enjoyed taking the journey with your beautiful children. Thank you for sharing them with me!
May God bless our final days together.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Antonia Ryan
