We are winding down! Let’s finish strong! You can help your kiddo do that by making sure they are doing their homework and reading for the April spring fling reading thing. Also, our April party is this Friday. It will be a spring training baseball theme, because we are training for our final istation test. I will take care of the hot dogs and buns, but I will be asking some of you if you will be willing to send something. I will also be sending baseball encourograms home for you to write to your students to have on their desk when they take their last istation test. A little encouragement can go a long way with test anxiety. -Miss Lynch Ms. Cassie Lynch Email address: Clynch@alpenaleopards.org Alpena Elementary Website: www.alpenaschools.k12.ar.us 300 South Denver Street Phone Number: 870-437-2229
