A Note from Mrs. B 
Top of the mornin’ to ya, parents of my wee little students!
I hope the new month of March is finding you well!  I am SO proud of how everyone did during the race yesterday. I saw endurance and confidence, but most of all, it seemed like they had a blast and were really excited about doing it. Thanks parents, for encouraging your kiddos to get pumped! I quite enjoyed being the pothole monitor. ;) I hope that y’all have a wonderful weekend and the last homework list from me! The only things I want to grade during my last week are the Leprechaun projects, book reports and BA points so I can focus on spending more time with the kids!  I’m excited to see what y’all come up with for the science homework and the leprechaun trap ideas! 
Love in Christ, Mrs. B
