A Note from Mrs. Mathe
As promised, I spent the day on the roof of the school building and boy was it a blast! When I was in elementary- just a few short years ago- I vividly remember my school principal sitting on the roof of the school as a reward for us reaching our reading goal. This is a positive core memory from my childhood, and I hope today I did the same for your children.
