Thank you for all the support on our assessment day this past Friday May 2nd, students did a wonderful job. We are looking forward to celebrating our teachers this week for Teacher Appreciation. Next week is also a time where all grade levels will celebrate learning and highlight students work and accomplishments with their study buddies. Look for learning celebrations to come home in Friday Folders as well so that your child can share their successes with you.
