*Wishing all you Kindergarten moms a Happy Mother’s Day weekend! It’s such a joy to see all the kindness, curiosity & enthusiasm your children bring into the classroom each day, and I know so much of that begins with you! I’ve felt so grateful to partner with all of you this year. I hope your day is filled with appreciation and special moments...you deserve it! And, enjoy the little cookbook & card that came home yesterday. Hopefully it’ll bring a smile to your face!
*Now that testing is complete, I’ll be sending home end-of-year reports. Look for these next week in your child’s Home Folder.
*Talent Show forms are due TODAY by 3:30. If your child would like to enter, please sign-up using this form.

It’ll be a special afternoon, and it all begins at 2:45 in the cafeteria.
*Please consider some type of work for your child over the break; don’t let summer slide happen!
