Newsletter May 19, 2025

Hello 2nd grade families,

As we wrap up an amazing second-grade year, I want to take a moment to reflect on all the growth, learning, and fun we’ve shared together. It’s hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by! From mastering new math skills to diving into exciting books and exploring the world around us, our class has accomplished so much.

Each student has worked hard, supported one another, and grown not only academically but also as kind and curious individuals. It’s been a joy to watch their confidence blossom and their friendships grow.

As we head into summer, I want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. It truly takes a team, and I’ve been so grateful to be part of your child’s journey this year.

Wishing you a restful and joyful summer break!
