Third grade families,
I hope you are all having a fantastic start to your week.
Jog-a-thon was great! THANK YOU to all who donated money and volunteered. Your help and generosity is what made our day such a success.
Wednesday, May 31st, third grade will be off on another GREAT field trip to the Chumash Indian Museum in Thousand Oaks. Permission slips were sent home today in your child’s homework folder. Please make sure permission slips are signed and turned in by May 24th.
