Dear Families,
It was fun seeing many of you at Family Science Night – last night. A big thank you to Gabby and Alecia’s dads for helping out last night.
We have been enjoying the Grandparent (Older person) interviews. It’s interesting to learn how some of the favorite snacks and games are the same ones for some of our current first graders.
