December 1st, 2016
Dear families,
Thank you for a great week. Our custodian, Mr. Loker is pleased with the students using the boot trays in the portables to keep the classrooms clean and tidy. Students are reminded to keep their indoors at school.
To keep everyone safe, we are asking students and parents to cross the street at the crosswalk. Crossing between cars is dangerous. Please remember to look both ways before crossing the street.
Shhh…Mrs. Statz will not be reading this message. There will be a surprise assembly on Thursday, December 22 at 12:10 to celebrate Mrs. Statz’s retirement. Families are welcome to join us. Mrs. Statz does not know about this assembly so if you have any questions, please call the office and ask for Amanda or Sylvia.
Andrea Michelutti, Principal
