Thank you for letting us work with your child this year. Thank you if you volunteered in any way, helped in classrooms, or served on the School Council. I know that it has been a TEAM effort for this year to be so successful. It has been great getting to know our students and watching them learn and grow. I encourage you to read with your child this summer. I recommend the "summer reading program" at the public library. More information is available on our school web-site. I will look forward to seeing all of you next year! Sincerely, Rosa Harris FIELD DAY: Field Day is coming soon! May 14 is Field Day for Kindergarten students. May 15 is Field Day for 1st grade.
