Thank you and I am so excited to meet those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet at the Parent Orientation on August 30th!

Now that all of your amazing children are in second grade now, this means that we are going to be going on the annual Second Grade Zoo trip to the Patawatomi Zoo! This will happen the first week of September! This trip is a great start to the school year and gets the students very interested in their scientific minds. At the zoo, we are going to examine all of the different animals and our little scientists will explore the differences in the climates of each animal. We are all so looking forward to this trip and cannot wait for the kids to learn all about the different animals!
