Pinkston PREP
Week of December 17
Message from Mr. Perla
Team,
I included a picture of my beautiful princess, Naomi! Today is "UGLY" Christmas Sweater at Farine Elementary! I cannot wait to spend the next two weeks with her and my family to celebrate the holidays and welcome the new year!
I urge you to take the next two weeks to rest, recover and rejuvenate. The second semester will be here before we know it! We will have a lot to celebrate in May, but first, rest, you all have earned it!
Please review calendar and important reminders! There's a lot of deadlines before our holiday break!
Together We Succeed!
Please post your lesson plans on the new google drive folder. You can access the folder HERE!
Reminders:
Be present in the hallways
Upload lesson plans by Sunday 12:00 PM
Review the calendar for pertinent dates and commitments
