News From The Office….
This is it! The last Blog bits of the school year! I can’t believe how fast the year went! We have 9 more SCHOOL Days until we are out for the summer!! We will be dismissed at 1:00 on Friday, June 10. We hope you all have a fun, safe summer and we will see you back in the fall.
Here are a couple reminders for the end of the year:
