Dear Kindergarten Families,

Another busy week in this busy month!

Jogathon is next Friday- please get your pledges along with your signature on the white envelope.

We are going on our second bus field trip with our 4th grade buddies to the Channel Island Museum on Wednesday. For this trip, please have your child bring a jacket or sweatshirt as it is usually chilly near the ocean. Pack a lunch and water too! Jeans are good or long pants, no sweats please and uniform shirt.

Today 5 kindergarten students are presenting their poems for judging. We compete with 5 first graders. It comes down to 3 place winners. All kindergarten students did an amazing job, it was quite difficult to choose – thank you for working with your children! Congratulations to our finalists: Sophia B., Payton, Khloè, Alfonso, and Sophia R.
