MCGRATH’S CLASS PROJECT…
The class has received several
letters from soldiers in the 38th Engineer Company stationed at Camp
Taji, Iraq. Each letter expressed appreciation for the packages
that the classes sent to them. The letters from the students
were passed around for all to read and the pictures are now posted
in the hallway for all to enjoy.
If anyone wants to write a letter or draw a picture, Mrs.
Peckham will be sending a box to her son in a couple of weeks and will be happy
to include them.
FINAL REPORT CARDS…
All report cards will be kept until the last day of school, June 21st. If
for some reason your child will not be present on the last day of school,
please leave a self-addressed stamped envelope at the office or plan
to stop by the school between June 21st and June 29th to pick up final
report cards.

if necessary, before they leave in the A.M. Our policy is that staff
cannot be responsible for applying sun block on students throughout the
day for the various outdoor activities. Any questions, feel free
to call me or Mrs. Nettik.
