Please join us for our spring Open House on Thursday, April 26th from 6:30 - 8:00.  Third grade's Open House themes are space and Chicago, so come wearing your favorite Chicago team's apparel!  There will also be a book fair.  I look forward to seeing each of you! 

Today marks the halfway point of the trimester. Please check your child's grades.
