What a great time I had chatting with you about your children at our recent Parent/Teacher conference. I hope you found the time we spent together informative and helpful. As I have mentioned before, it is such a pleasure coming to school each day and working with such an enthusiastic group of learners.
I am still collecting Scholastic Book club orders over the next week and thank Mrs. Counsman and Mrs. Fratello for volunteering to help me with the ordering process.
Just a friendly reminder that the students have library on Tuesday and need to return their library books that day.
Each Wednesday, the students visit the garden (usually in small groups), which they are looking after this year, along with a group of Upper School students. Gardening gloves and old t-shirts are not required each week seeing I have a class set of supplies that small groups of students can use. However, if you have any gardening gloves that you are not using at home, please send them in.
