Announcements

I really enjoyed visiting with you last Thursday.  Thanks for taking your time and being so attentive to the items we discussed.  I am overwhelmed by the amount of support you offered.  I am really looking forward to a great year with my class.  Thanks for all you.

This week begins the kickoff of our annual cookie dough sale. We will have an assembly on Wednesday and more information will come home with your student. Please read the information carefully and prayerfully consider how you can support our school through this fundraiser.

We will have a number of tests this week. They are all listed in the tests, projects, and events section of the newsletter.  Please plan accordingly and help your child to keep it all in perspective.
