This Week
Welcome to March! It looks like it's going to come in like a lamb! This week we welcome the Class of 2033 into our building during our first night of Kindergarten Round Up. Also, it's Read Across America Day. If you're new to this national holiday, you can learn more here.
A couple big events left for the week to be aware of. Check out Reading 4 Research and Operation Laker Pride below for more.
We also have our first Curriculum Committee meeting on Wednesday. There's a lot of work and decisions to be made on how we'll be moving forward to get the curriculum cycle up and running effectively. I'm hopeful some of you will want to join in the fun! :)
Here we go, 2/3rds of our year is complete, here's to a new focus on this last leg of the race!
