Dear Second Grade Families,

This is another busy week for all second graders. We will begin classroom poem presentations. Everyone will do this, as this is part of Language Arts. Those desiring to go on for the speech contest will be chosen and notified by this Friday. This is always a tough decision as there can be only five students chosen to represent the second grade. Also this week is the jogathon (Friday, April 27). Please pay attention to the information coming home in the Tuesday Family Envelopes, past and tomorrow. Friday is also a noon dismissal day as the teachers have a meeting.
