Week of June 9-13

Good evening parents and guardians,

Sorry for the late post. I was out of town and tried to update my blog via my phone but it never posted.

Here is my original post:

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend with your loved ones.
One big, huge, exciting event is coming up.... Lego Land field trip!!
I might be as excited or more than the kids for a few reasons. 1) Ive never been.
2) This will be my first official teacher field trip (no longer just a chaperon... Yay!)
3) I get to have some much deserved fun with my class and all of you who are coming.
I sent home a small flier with information yesterday. Please make sure all persons going on the trip
are at school by normal school hours, 7:40 am. The bus will leave promptly at 8:00 am and expected to be back by 5:30 pm. Please have your child wear their REACH school shirt, comfortable shoes and  sunblock. Also, no students is allowed to take more than $10.00. Finally, please be sure to pack a sack lunch for your student unless one was ordered for them from Ms. Judi last week.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me or the office.
