First Week of Summer Camp
Greeting Parents,
I was glad to see how organized, determined, and persevere they were in completing their tasks. Most importantly, I was impressed by how well they listened to their teachers and followed the camp rules.
In the past few days, they've adjusted to the morning and class routine. They became accustomed to what is expected of them academically, socially, and emotionally.
