Thank you to all our parents who helped us with the Chalk Walk. The students had a blast. One of the students said, “This is the best day ever.” Our last event is our Good Bye to Kindergarten day on June 3 rd . We need many volunteers for this day’s event. Please be on the lookout for an important paper regarding signing up for this amazing celebration. We would love to have all the volunteers we possibly could for this terrific event. It is an opportunity to have a fun filled day with your child and enjoy a picnic lunch with them on their last day of Kindergarten. Parents will be bringing in their own lunches for themselves and their kids for the picnic lunch.Raz-Kids: We see that many students are accessing the Raz-Kids reading program and we are so excited to see the progress that the students are making.
