Please remember....

As we approach our day off on Monday for Veteran's Day please take a moment to honor and remember all those who have served or are serving our country. Their sacrifices allow us to have and to keep our freedom! Talk to your child about the day and share with them any family, friends who have been in the military! To any of you who are Veteran's I THANK YOU for your service and your sacrifices!
The Lip Sync show was fANTastic! I loved being a part of it! Congratulations to all of you who did such a wonderful job!

TODAY is the big day....the students are so excited to perform their ANTics show and share all of their learning with you! Please be at school with time to park, sign in and make it to our room for a prompt 2:00 show.You may sign your child out at 3 to go home with you if you would like.
