Dear Families,
We had an exciting Spirit Week! Thank you for helping your child get ready each day!
We had a great Cornerstone Lesson today with Nina and Nisha. They read the story, My Secret Bully by Trudy Ludwig and had a great discussion.
Please return your AV School Library book on Thursday. I do remind the students to check their backpack for their books, but I do not check it for them; if you pack the book for your child, let them know as well.
I hope to see you tomorrow at the Walk-a-Thon! Make sure your child is wearing their Walk-a-Thon t-shirt if they pre-registered, so they can collect lap tallies. Here is the website if you need more information. Altavistawalkathon.dojiggy.com
Thank you to our parent volunteers this week!
I hope to see you tomorrow!
