Good morning students, parents/guardians
I hope that you all had a very nice weekend and that you enjoyed the good weather safely.
Can you believe that we are now in the month of June. This is always a very exciting month in school. With only three and a half weeks left in school and as you have been working so hard your teacher has decided to give you a little less work during the next two weeks and more fun activities so be ready. Your last day of homework for this school year will be Friday June 12th.
