Craddock's Weekly Update
The next Weekly Update will be out for the week of August 7!
Mrs. Menta's Message
Hello Craddock Families and Happy July!
I hope this message finds you happy, healthy and in the midst of making new memories as a family! It's been a wonderful summer so far, with lots still to come!
I have included a few updates below to help prepare you for all that's coming. We have our first two building tours and our first popsicle event this week! Please see below for more details! I hope to see lots of you there!
Also, I recorded a short video for all of my 1st and 2nd grade friends. I have been thinking about them lots over the summer and can't wait to see all of them these next few weeks! Feel free to share this video with them if you have a few minutes! Thank you!
I am back in the office daily starting Wednesday, 7/26, so if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to reach out. My contact information is listed below.
Have a wonderful rest of the summer and I hope to see lots of you soon during tours and/or Popsicles on the Playground!
Take care,
Kim Menta
