Updates and announcements
Can you believe the year is
almost over? Our students are coming up to a well-deserved summer break. It has
been an honor teaching our students this year. At our end of the year party,
students will get a more eloquent sending off letter from all of the 5th
grade teachers.
Wednesday is the 5th
grade Promotion. Students should be in the gym at 5:15 and the ceremony will
start at 5:30.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
are half days.
Our end of the year party is
Friday!
Just a reminder that I will not
be at school on Thursday and Friday. I will be back in Montana for my brother’s
graduation. I am so excited to bring them back to Arizona with me next week and
celebrate my brother’s new adulthood, my birthday, and mourning the departure
of my mid-twenties.
