A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
We continue to enjoy dressing up and I can’t wait to see our students dressed up as book characters on Tuesday! Every classroom is enjoying reading Because of Winn-Dixie and is LOVING the classroom gifts that go along with the story. Thank you, Mrs. Rockafellow, and CMUE PTO for making this happen!
Have a great St. Patrick’s Day weekend!
Mrs. LaVictor
