Please continue to send a snack with your child each day. With warmer weather, students will be more active and be hungrier in the afternoons. We did not have snack break today because of the special treat at the end of our assembly. Wednesday will be Miss Megan and Miss Birdwell’s last day with us. They will be graduating from Murray State University next weekend. Congratulations to these two awesome future teachers.

Homeroom teachers will start issuing much more stringent punishments for bad behavior. Please be aware that students may be missing more recess, writing more, missing centers, not participating in crafts or other fun extra activities, and having more homework, if behaviors do not improve. We hope we have your support. We still have a little more than 3 weeks of school remaining and much more material to cover. Upcoming-Very Important Dates • April 23-27, Spirit Week, We will dress in special ways each day. Monday-Uniforms, jerseys. Tuesday-Crazy hair and clothes. Wednesday-Dress like your favorite teacher.
