Week 30

Good Afternoon 1C Families,

It has been a great start to the fourth quarter! On an exciting note, students are showing their best work as they work hard to create their very own class book.  Additional books will be available for purchase if you would like your child to have a copy as a memento.  An order form was sent home last Thursday if you would like to purchase one. Please return the order form no later than Thursday, March 28^th as payments will not be accepted after the deadline. I look forward to seeing the each child's beautiful creation!

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,

Sarah Kaye



Announcements

Poetry recitations are this Friday! Don't forget to practice. 

Greetings families,

Due to various scheduling conflicts,  all P.E. classes will take place outside for the next several weeks. As the temperatures heat up, please send a water bottle to school with your children.  We will be sure to give students water breaks during P.E. If your child requires sunscreen, please apply it before school starts. Students may also wear a hat (free of pop-culture) during P.E. Feel free to reach out to us (Coach Warren K-2) (Coach Gethings 3-5) with any questions. Have a great day and Go Chargers!

Best regards,

Coach Gethings and Coach Warren
