- Plato, The Republic
Just like that we have finished the first month of first grade! This month has been filled with learning and creating habits for success at school. Thank you for all of your help and support as we have adjusted to the new school year. As we move forward, please know my door is always open with any questions or concerns you may have.
On Friday we celebrated the virtue of the month award winner, Greyson! Greyson has demonstrated responsibility all month long and we are thankful for her. Way to go Greyson!
In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,
Ms. Kaye
