We will go to Media again on Thursday, please make sure that your child has returned their book by Thursday morning so they can check out a new one.

Picture day is coming up on the 28th, next Tuesday. K-1 is scheduled to get our class and individual pictures taken at 9:00, so make sure that the kids are to school on time :) Forms will be sent home in this week's Friday folder. Return them on Monday or by Tuesday morning.

First Day

We had a great first day in K-1. The students were ready to go and eager to find out what the schedule was for the day. We did our September journals, celebrated a birthday, read a couple of books, did a hand-stamping project, and learned how to go through the lunch line in the cafeteria. It was a busy day!
