Updates and Upcoming Events


As part of our classroom's New Year resolutions, we have discussed how arriving with a few minutes to spare starts the morning off on the right foot. The doors open at 7:50 and we are ready to pledge the flag by 8:05.

Also, a tip of the hat to Kate, Alex, and Cody who practice sun safety at PE today with billed hats and sunscreen. Today's UV index is a 6 with forecasts to be climbing. We are encouraging all students to protect their skin with brimmed hats and applications of sunscreen.

Tomorrow you are invited to join us at 9:15 am for an informational meeting about this year's quilting. It's a tradition in its 12th year!
