From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back! I hope all of you had an enjoyable, relaxing Easter break! We are down to just six short weeks until the end of the school year. As the weather gets warmer and we look forward to summer break, I realize it can be a bit harder to concentrate on schoolwork. Please help us help your child to stay focused for these last few weeks!
Wednesday is our annual State of the School meeting (see school news for details - one parent should plan to attend) and also
Professional Administrative Assistants Day. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Bonita Ziegler for all she does to keep our school office running so smoothly! You are AMAZING and we all appreciate you!
Many thanks to those who have already volunteered to help with High Interest Day by leading a session or helping as a support person. More hands are welcome (and needed). Please use the
Sign Up Genius to share your talents and abilities with our students!
Blessings,
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
