Ms. Ramsey's Weekly Newsletter Friday, April 28th
Dear Parents,
We can't wait to make Smores with our homemade Solar Ovens next week!
MAP testing also begins next week.The MAP test schedule was revised through FSAPS's Weekly Newsletter sent out Monday at 5 pm. It will be super important your child is at school no later than 7:53, so they do not have to wait in the long tardy line. Please make sure they have a good night of sleep and a hearty breakfast.
Please email me if you have any questions :)
Love,
Ms. Ramsey
