Good Evening Wahoos! The holiday season is here! This week is only a two day week. Students are out for Thanksgiving break Wednesday through Friday of this week. Our PTO Krispy Kreme Fundraiser ends Wednesday, November 29th. On Thursday, November 30th, we have our Fall retake pictures. If you did not like your child's initial pictures on picture day or if your child was absent from school, your child is able to have their picture retaken.  Kindergarten parents, please mark your calendar for Tuesday, December 5th. Our kindergarten students are preparing for their first performance. Senora Villamar, Mrs. Reams, Mrs. Ram, and Mrs. Beamon's class will perform at 6pm. The remaining kindergarten homerooms will perform at 7pm. Our PTO will also present and provide updates at the beginning of each performance. I hope everyone has a great evening and an amazing Thanksgiving break!

Good Afternoon, This is a reminder that Monday, November 20th, our second grade teachers will be hosting a literacy lab starting at 5pm in the cafeteria.

This is an area that all of our students can benefit extra practice from. Door prizes will be included!! (This is designed specifically for second grade.)
