Dear Parents,

Hope our First Grade Parents enjoyed the music program tonight.  Thank you to our First Grade Students and to Mrs. Hebert for all of their hard work.  Also, Congratulations to all of our students who had Perfect Attendance the first semester...we enjoyed celebrating their attendance today at lunch.  As a reminder, winter illnesses are here.  Please make sure your child is fever free for 24 hours and healthy to come to school.  We have a lot of learning to due and appreciate your students coming to school ready to learn each day. 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
All My Best,
