I look forward to meeting with each of you for Parent Conferences this week. We have three shortened days, with early dismissal at 11:30 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We will not have P.E. on Thursday, but we will have Music on Friday.
Please discuss with your child which California mission they would like to learn about in preparation for the School Fair, which will be held on February 22nd, and then send me an email with his/her choice.
