Message from Mrs. Breaux
Dear Families,
I hope you have had the opportunity to reach out to your child's teacher by this point in the year. If you haven't already, I would highly encourage that you set up a parent/teacher conference or reach out to discuss your child's progress. It takes a village, and we want to work together to make this the best year yet!
As we use November to reflect on all things we are grateful for, please know I am thankful for each of you. As a mom of four children, parenting is my hardest job, and I know that many of you can relate. Thank you for all you do each and every day to prepare your children for school and for our world. Also, with Veterans' Day around the corner, a special thank you to all who serve or have served our country and for the families who make sacrifices every day as military families. I am thankful for each of you!
Fondly,
Mrs. Breaux
