Today is Holy Thursday. We are off school for 10 days.  We apologize for the lack of communication this week.  We have been very busy getting ready for Easter.  Just a reminder that your child should be reading over the holidays so that they can complete their book report.  We wish you all a very blessed Easter!

We have an assembly tomorrow, so remember to wear green.  We are going to church first thing in the morning.  We saw Little Mermaid today.  It was fabulous!
