Thanks to all the parent volunteers for helping with our winter party! We had so much fun! And thank you so much for the thoughtful and generous gifts! We appreciate your kind support! Hoping you all have a wonderful holiday with your families! See everyone back on Tuesday, January 2nd.

I reminded students about their reading challenge and to keep their brains sharp over the break by continuing to practice the skills we’ve been working so hard on! 🙂
