Mrs. Grant's Kindergarten
January 8-11
Happy New Year!
Welcome back to Kindergarten! I just wanted to thank our three room moms, Tiffany Muth, Angie Fitzpatrick, and Tina Travis, for such an organized winter party. A great time was had by all thanks to you. :)
Each child seemed so excited to come back to school on Tuesday and share stories about their two week break. I hope you all had a memorable and relaxing time with your families!
