Good Morning!
I hope that you and your children have had a restful break! Before break, we greatly enjoyed sharing our animal research projects. I was very impressed by the effort and creativity that was put into these projects. The students felt very proud and honored to share them with their classmates! These projects will be coming home graded by the end of this week.
As we start second quarter, there are a few important things coming up! Please ensure that you sign up for a parent teacher conference, if you have not already. I look forward to discussing your child's progress with you! Please be advised of the schedule changes due to conferences (see below) as well as some important upcoming events!
Here's to a wonderful 2nd quarter as we continue to seek truth, beauty and goodness together!

I never saw a purple cow;

But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see the be one.
