The Power Ranger Press
Hello!
It's April! I hope state testing has gone well for you these last few weeks! We've enjoyed spending time with you! Some of you haven't tested yet but are scheduled in the next few weeks. Get some good rest the night before your tests, relax and try your best. We believe in you and know you're capable of amazing things!
In April, the ISOK Student Support Team will be celebrating and acknowledging Community Service Month, Month of the Military Child, Earth Day, and many more ASCA Awareness Days.
Each week you'll find news, information, action items, and fun from the ISOK Student Support Team! Please read carefully and enjoy this issue of The Power Ranger Press!
Thanks,
Ginger Allison
