Fall Party

Thanks to all the parents who helped with the Fall Party, as well as those who sent treats. A special thank you to Mr. Foster for organizing everything. It was a fun time for all of us.

Conferences - Thanks for Coming

Thanks for coming to conferences. I always enjoy visiting with the parents of my students. Students are more successful in school when the parents and the teachers work together. Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any question. Thanks again for coming to your child's conference.
