I am looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow! I hope you all had a fun and relaxing break. I can’t wait to hear all about it!
This Friday, January 11th is our First Grade Fairy tale Parade!
Students will dress up as a fairy tale/folk tale character. Gather your dress up clothes or put together a simple costume to represent a favorite character, such as Cinderella or a bear from "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" etc. Parents start lining the halls at 8:00, we should begin parading around the school at 8:10! Students will be allowed to change into comfortable clothes after the parade!
