HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you for the donations for the Christmas Carol.  The students had a great time.  I feel very fortunate to have your students in my class.  This group of students is so cute and fun. There have been many students who are missing a lot of school.  Math and reading begin to move really fast this time of year and when your student misses class they get very behind quickly.  Please try to have your students to school and on time.
