Week of June 2-6

Good evening parent and guardians, 

The school year is right around the corner and it is defiantly bitter sweet. I am enjoying these last few days and reminiscing with the students all we have done this year. They have grown so much and have become a big part of my life. Today we made Count Down to First grade chains, only 19 more days! Please feel free to celebrate with your child at home but cutting off a link every school day.
