Weekly Updates and Thank You!
Dear Families,
Hope this blog finds you in good health. I hope you didn’t have to do a lot of raking this weekend. I have to admit that this season is one of my favorite seasons.
Last Monday was such a big success. The students and I were so excited to see many of our dear parents visiting our classroom and school 🙂 . The whole event was a success because of your continuous support and help. The students had so many yummy treats and candy!
