The Year is Going Too Fast!

Dear Parents and Students,

I believe everyone had a pleasant Spring Break and I am happy to have all the third graders back safe and sound.  It is just amazing how fast the year is going!  I can’t believe Spring Break is already part of the past.

We started the week off with our Easter Egg Hunt.  It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the last bit of Easter. 

Next Wednesday is Pottery Day and much excitement to look forward to.  Students, remember to bring an apron or old shirt if you please. 

Students, April 25^th is getting closer and closer.  Get those Science Fair Projects ready and remember that you have to be able to explain to an audience what your project is all about.

Parents, I am looking forward to meeting with you all on April 17^th and April 18^th.  Thank you for your fast response to the Parent/Teacher Conference letters.
