Florence Family Update
May 4, 2018
Quick Notes
Our campus was showered with appreciation this past week. Your thoughtfulness and generosity is truly a treasure to all the staff at Florence. A special thank you all of our parents who contributed to providing delicious lunches and desserts everyday - Mr. and Mrs. Pillans for making and serving lasagna to our entire staff. Losing weight????? Not here!! We enjoyed every morsel! Our building smelled like a florist with flowers everywhere - beautiful cards - blessings every day!
As we begin to near summer, I encourage you to think of how to engage your students in reading while at home. Mrs. Lallande has volunteered her time to open the library 4 times throughout the summer for you to come in and check out books! Below is an informational chart as to the importance of keeping our kids reading throughout the summer.
Hugs!
