Third Grade Families,
As many know, Ms. Espinosa is expecting Henry’s arrival very soon and she has decided to begin her maternity leave. I, Miss Poindexter, will teach third grade for the remainder of the school year! I am so honored and excited to finish off the year with your children!
Here are some important dates for this week:
TUESDAY, April 4th: In-N-Out/Dippin’ Dots money orders were due. Tickets will not be sold on that Friday, as they are only available by pre-order. Family Envelopes will also be sent home today.
WEDNESDAY, April 5th: Stations of the Cross at 1:50 PM.
FRIDAY, April 7th is a full day, as well as In-N-Out & Dippin’ Dots! Families are welcome to enjoy lunch with their students. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are welcome, too!
Note: Our class competition for our Poetry Contest will be held on April 10th-13th. One prop or costume item is allowed. Please make sure the poems are practiced and recited with enthusiasm!
