Principal's Message
Another great thing that I think you will love, is that you can create these same "newsletters" for your classrooms for free. It's a great home/school connection. I can't wait to keep learning all the features Smore.com has to offer. I encourage you to take a look at Smore.com to see if it's something you would like to try.
