Dear Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you had a great holiday and were able to enjoy some time with your children. I’m looking forward to learning about your child's Winter Break memories.
Thank you to Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Hayes, and Mrs. Brandt for organizing a fun holiday party before the break! Thank you to all our parent helpers running the crafts and Limbo dance! The children loved the Limbo!
Thank you for all the gifts! My Bears (and families) are very generous and thoughtful! Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores!
On Monday, January 7th, we will have a fun day back to school with Smart Start. Students will rotate through all four first grade classes and participate in different crafts or activities.

Monday is also a Family Night!
I look forward to seeing you on Monday!
