Week 26

Greetings 1B Families,

We had a wonderful day celebrating friendship! We enjoyed time with 4B, made friendship cards, participated in an assembly along with other great hearted activities! A great time was had by all. Thank you to all the parents who helped bring in supplies to help make the day a success.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,

Shannon Dawson
