Teachers Notes:

Only 20 more days of school! So many fun memories and great days it is hard to say goodbye. I am so proud of all of your children and my students they have all worked really hard this year and have come a long way. We still have a lot to do and learn though. We will be doing a lot in school the next few weeks so please make sure your students are getting a good breakfast and lots of rest. Thank you for all that you do and for your continued support this school year. If there is anything that I can do please let me know. Don't forget to be turning in your students reading minutes so they can make it to the reading picnic. If you have lost the sheet you can always email the minutes and that will count as well. I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed week this week.
