Hello!
We have a very exciting start to our week, as Nancy Carlson, author and illustrator, will be visiting with each grade tomorrow. The Kindergarteners should really enjoy this! Our class will also be visiting the Imagination Fair on Thursday morning (way to go to all the K-1 Kindergarteners who are participating!). Lastly, Adventures in Art will be starting this Thursday! Thanks to our wonderful PTA for making this happen.
