Good afternoon First Grade families,
There is so much going on around school these days! Construction is everywhere. It is especially funny when the construction workers are walking around on the roof above us. We are certainly lucky to witness this renovation first hand. The finished work is looking good!

Friday, December 17: Last day of school before Christmas Break begins.
Also, our Class Christmas Party ( if you would like to help with some of the supplies...)
- we will need sugar cookies to decorate (25)
- frosting and decorations
- small plates, napkins and cups

Monday, January 3: School resumes...in our new classroom :)
*I will be able to provide more information about this as the date gets closer.
