Happy New Year!
Welcome back Dolphins and families!
It's a new year and a new month, which means a new character trait - Perseverance! Perseverance is pushing yourself to work through challenges and obstacles.
We'd love to start the year with some new supplies, a lot of the students have used up/lost/exhausted their resources :) some things that might be helpful to have:
-tissues
-markers
-color pencils
Have a great week!
