News From the Office…

It was a crazy busy week here at school with conferences and the book fair! Thank you to all of the parents that came to school to meet with your child’s teacher! Parent involvement and support is so important in your child’s education and we appreciate you being here!! We also had the book fair this past week which seemed very busy as well!! The kids are always excited to go and pick out a good book. We want to say thank you to Jody Hunt for organizing it and everyone that came and helped out!  It takes so many volunteers to pull that event off! You are appreciated! Lastly, we want to say thank you to Jen Mazarka and Erin Fredricks for organizing the dinner for the teachers and to so many who volunteered to bring in the delicious dinner for the teachers this past week for conferences. It is very much appreciated!
