Greetings!
     We  just ended another great week.  Wednesday was our last day of testing.    I am  SUPER proud of students for  staying  on task  and following instructions  throughout this two week process.    
     Thursday, was our second  field  study  to EdVenture.   Everything  went  really well!   Students were well behaved and had an amazing time exploring the museum.    A BIG THANKS  to Mrs. McMasters  and Mr. Guyton for chaperoning and helping everything go smoothly.    
     This week  I will be  at a training on Thursday and Friday.  Please  speak to your child about continuing to display positive behavior while I am out.  
Thanks for your support!
