Dear Second Grade Families,
I hope all second grade mommies and grandmothers were spoiled this weekend!!!! Thank you to all the volunteers and donations for our jog-a-thon! We had a great time jogging, walking and dancing. We had lots of teachers, parents (2nd grade parents) and students dancing at the jog-a-thon with a big thank you to DJ Joggy. It was a blast!!!!! If you did not attend this year make sure you mark your calendars for next year.
This week will be VERY hot so be sure to send plenty of water for your child to drink.
