A special thank you to Mrs. Sims, Mr. Levine, Ms. Conner, for their help in generating questions.

Volunteer Love

Many thanks to Melissa Chaput, our room parent coordinator, and all of our incredible room parents and volunteers for coming in to celebrate Valentine’s Day with our classes. They planned fun activities for all to enjoy.

Kudos to Erin Donadio and Suzanne Jacobson for spreading the love to our teachers this week. The teachers were spoiled with Sugar Lips donuts, coffee and messages of love from their students.

Thank you to Edie Arnold for planning another wonderful assembly at KRS. The children loved the laser light show.
