Welcome to Our House "Where Character Matters"
Dear Botsford Families,
As you may or may not know this Wednesday, April 25th is national administrative assistant's day. I would like to take a moment to say thank you to Mrs. Gregg for all of her hard work. Our building could not operate as it does without Mrs. Gregg. Mrs. Gregg balances so many different responsibilities while wearing a smile and keeping the focus on our students first. If you get a chance on Wednesday the 25th be sure to take a minute to thank Mrs. Gregg for her service to our building. I am sure she would appreciate it.
We have finished week one of our testing. Our 5th grade students stayed focus and kept a positive attitude during the testing. The MStep schedule is posted below.
Donations of MStep drinks and snacks are greatly appreciated. We are asking for donations of bottled water, boxes of granola bars, pretzels, goldfish crackers or a similar healthy snack. All donations can be brought to the office.
