Weekly Update - March 2, 2018
Dear Parents,

I hope you had a great week. We are gearing up for Iowa Assessments next week. Hopefully you all read the letter from Ms. Boodoo about the testing. If you didn't you can see it here or I am posting it at the bottom of this message. In the message she talks a little about the actual tests and also about how you can help prepare your child for the testing days. We will be trying to keep the anxiety level down and have some nice treats for the children when they are finished with tests. Thank you for doing your part at home to help your child/ren have the best chance for success.

I hope you have purchased your ticket to the Auction next weekend. Some of the baskets have been sitting in the office this week and they are looking really nice. It's always a fun evening so I certainly hope you are planning on attending.

Blessings on a restful weekend,
Mrs. Bogataj
