Teacher’s note
Wow! It truly is hard to believe that
spring break is already here! Where has
the year gone? I hope that you all have
the opportunity to rest, relax, and enjoy a
little time with family and friends!
Just a reminder that this Friday, March 4th is Storybook Character Day! Please encourage your child to dress as their favorite character
from a storybook. Examples could be
SkippyJon Jones, Batman (yes it is ok
to dress as a comic superhero), Junie B.
Jones, or Thing 1 and Thing 2 from
Dr. Seuss. It is always so much fun
seeing what the kids come up with and
showing off their creative styles! 
Thank you for encouraging your child
to participate!
Don’t forget that next week is Spring Break!!
March 7th – March 11th
Hope you enjoy your time
off and have a little fun in the sun!
