It was great to see all of you at conferences last week! How nice it was to share and discuss the amount of success and growth we've seen in Kindergarten. What a wonderful celebration! I appreciate everyone's willingness to continue working with your child at home and keeping such an open line of communication to ensure the very best for your child. Go TEAM K-1!
Also, we're very excited to announce that our class raised the top amount of money in Kindergarten for the Read-A-Thon fundraiser and have earned an indoor snowball fight this week with Mrs. Swanson. Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures! Again, thank you for all your hard work to make the Read-A-Thon such a success.
