Message from Mrs. Zeman
Hello Washington Families!
It is hard to believe we are getting ready for our end of the year events already and planning for next school year! This year has been an amazing year of learning, growing and collaborating. We are looking forward to all of the fun events that occur in the last month of school. There are several field trips and school wide events scheduled, so please check out the rest of this newsletter for more information as well as the communication from teachers.
As always, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office if you have any questions.
