Hello, So far the weather looks good for our walking field trip! On Friday make sure students have comfortable walking shoes and are dressing for the weather. It is a fun field trip to end our year! This week I will start collecting all of the books that have been sent home. If you could please check around the house for books that were sent from school, that’d be very helpful.
