Starting off our school year

Students have done a remarkable job getting to know the routines. They are learning each other's names and figuring out how to transition smoothly from one activity to another. It is impressive to see how well the students are helping one another and putting away materials.

We would like students to learn more about each other and one way is for them to share a family picture. Please send in a family photo next week and we will share them and create a display.

Please note that Open School NIght in on September 16th from 6-7 pm. We hope to see you there with your child.

I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to come to our special evening and hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.

It's hard to believe that we are heading to our very last week of school for pre-K. On the last day (June 11th for the TTh group and June 12th for the MWF groups) we will have an ice cream party. If you are interested in donating vanilla or chocolate icecream, rainbow or chocolate sprinkles, or whip cream please let me know.

Thank you all for being such wonderfully supportive parents!
