Dear Second Grade Families,
We start our week off with beautiful warm weather. We will be spending some time outdoors reading this week. I ask that you send a beach towel so we can enjoy a shady area on our campus during the afternoon. This will be a nice surprise for our second graders since I haven’t mentioned this at all. They have earned this special treat by filling up the sparkler bucket.
Congratulations to our Palmisano finalists Aryanna, Caleb, Fiona, and Nicholas! Our K-2 finalists will be recognized at a special assembly on March 19th and a winner will be announced. We wish our Kinder, First, and Second graders lots of luck!
