Thank you in advance for your participation in the matter.

Have a great day.

We had a great first week of school! The students eased back into our routine by playing on the playground, creating a bus out of torn paper, working with the first letters in their names, practicing their fine motor skills, and listening to stories such as “Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes.”
