Dear Parents and Students,
Happy Easter! Time flies so quickly, I can hardly believe it is Easter.
We ended the week on an extremely cheerful note. We had an Easter Egg Hunt. How much fun was that! The Gr.3’s were quick and sufficient in finding their eggs.
Today is also Earth Day and the Gr.3’s are nurturing their seeds, which we planted on Monday. We are waiting in anticipation to see the first leaf. It is great to see what good caretakers they are. I can see green fingers among the Gr.3’s!
We also celebrated Alex Lee’s birthday! Happy birthday, Alex! We wish you endless happiness, great health and excellent scores! He treated us with DELICIOUS pizza. Thank you, Alex.
Thank you to all the parents who came to school and met with me. It was wonderful to see you all and have a chance to talk. Thank you for your time and support.
May 9th to 13th are the dates for the Iowa Tests, please don’t plan any trips during this week. I want everyone to be focused and write all of the tests. No homework will be given to the students during Iowa week.
