January 20th to January 24th
Remember that on Monday, January 2oth there will not be school due to Martin Luther King's birthday. Please plan accordingly. Students have been learning about Martin Luther King this week through books and a movie! This afternoon, we started watching Our Friend Martin which discusses MLK's life in an understandable, relevant way. The students are enjoying the movie. We will finish it on Tuesday.
Today marks halfway through Trimester 2. I cannot believe how fast time is flying! It is a great time to check your child's grades.
