Greetings 1B Families!
It was such a pleasure to get to chat with you all this week. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me and invest in your child's success at school. I am thankful for the fruitful conversations as we work to pursue the truth, beauty and goodness!
This coming week is the book fair and readathon. Students may visit the book fair in the mornings after checking in to the classroom, during lunch/recess and after school with a parent. If you wish to have your child visit the book fair after school, please pick them up and then come in. We are looking forward to a wonderful week celebrating reading!
Kindly,
Shannon Dawson
