THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for your kind, thoughtful and generous gifts. This whole week has been a very Merry Christmas for me! I really appreciate all of you thinking of me during this holiday season!

Bring umbrellas!

We are walking over to the high school today to see the music concert. Please have your child bring an umbrella and wear appropriate shoes! Sorry for the late notice!
