PRINCIPAL’S PAWS
I would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable spring break! Remember,
tomorrow is a planning day and next week is spring break. We'll see
everyone back bright and early on Monday, March 29th. Let's come back
ready to work hard and finish the year on a very positive note!
MS. HOPE’S CORNER
Spring Break is the week of March 22-26, 2004 and students return to school
on Monday, March 29, 2004. While Spring is a time of renewal and also a
time of planting, cleaning, relaxing, etc., it is my sincere wish that an
enjoyable, fun filled, relaxing, and safe time be had by all. ENJOY YOUR
BREAK!!!!!!!!!
SILENT AUCTION
A flyer was sent home today with your child seeking donations for the
Silent Auction. Donations can be monetary, gift certificates for goods or
services, or items from your business. Since the Chaires Panther PTO is a
