A Note from Mrs. B 
Hello from the beehive!
What a dreary week it has been! That didn’t stop us from having a great time at our field trip though yesterday. The kids had a blast going behind the scenes at Ms. Bee’s, and loading up on popcorn and candy! :D We also enjoyed our rainy day at the park. Thank you again to my wonderful chaperones, Jenny, Gayle and Jennifer! Y’all helped make the day go so smoothly. I can’t believe that we only have 3 weeks left together—I look forward to having fun with your kids for the rest of the time and cherishing each and every one of them! Make sure to love on Bella and Reagan—they did so well at the spelling bee on Friday and we couldn’t be more proud of them! BEE-autiful job, girls!!
Love in Christ, Mrs. B
