Thank You!
Thank you all so much for the birthday goodies! A birthday gram was delivered, first thing in the morning, shortly after I was surprised by some of the students hiding about in a darkened room. Plus, my 5th grade son was one of the Gram Singers :) We all enjoyed cupcakes during recess.

Week of Feb. 14th
We have had several students, and the teacher :(, out due to illness over the last couple of weeks. Please remember that your child should be fever free for 24 hours, without medication, before returning to school. We have been using the sanitizer regularly and trying to keep our hands to ourselves so as to not spread more germs. Feel free to email me a note when your child is absent.
