Hello Parents!

I can not believe that it is already the middle of September.  We only have two weeks until fall break.  This fall is going so fast.  I think there is a saying for that: time flies when your having fun! 

Please look out for an email from Mrs. Offret about our Prairie day celebration October 1^st.  We need supplies and volunteers to make this a fun day of celebration for our scholars!

We are also in need of more math and reading volunteers. I sent out an email this week.  Please contact me if you would like to volunteer and have not received the email or if you have any questions!

Wish List:  I don’t know how we go through tissues so quickly!  Please send a tissue box in if you are able. J
