Happy New year! I hope you all had a terrific break & that you are just as excited to start this new semester! Thank you for your Fuzzy Friends donations right before the holiday & for your assistance in the Holiday Party. The students had a blast! We are looking forward to an exciting and busy semester. As you return to “normal” routines, please be sure your child eats a good breakfast, reads 20 minutes each night and is practicing math facts as often as possible. We are about to jump into some math concepts where quick recall of facts is imperative! Sincerely, Mrs. Bullajian Keep up with planet Bullajian online! Follow us on Twitter: @mrsbullajianwwe
