PRINCIPAL’S PAWSE
As our FCAT testing begins next week, I would like to remind parents how
important it is for children to be healthy, well rested, and at school on
time. It is also important for the children to feel confident and put
forth their best effort during the testing.
Parents, we will be asking for your support in preparing for the upcoming
Spring Festival which will take place on Saturday, April 26 from 10:00-
2:00. We will need parents to help run the booths for each classroom.
Please be sure to contact your child's teacher or the class parent to offer
your support. We look forward to involving the community this year by
having arts, crafts, and food booths, as well. Please be sure to mark your
calendars.
