Hello Wonderful Families,

We had a great time this week at our Apex Fun Run!  Thank you so much to everyone that supported us, both with donations, and coming to cheer and mark shirts as our kiddos ran lap after lap!
Our Turkey in Disguise Project went home last Monday and are due Tuesday, November 19th.
Please remember that there is NO SCHOOL this Monday, November 11th for Veterans Day.  Enjoy your extra day off.

If students have not finished reading their Magic Treehouse book, they need to do so by Tuesday, November 12th.    We have started working on our activities in class this week. Families are invited to come to class and see all of our hard work and enjoy some refreshments on Friday, November 15th at 12:45pm.

There will be NO SCHOOL for students next Monday November 18th due to parent teacher conferences. I am looking forward to meeting with you all to discuss how much growth your kiddos have made this trimester.

We have booked our LEGOland field trip for Friday, February 7, 2020!!!  This is such a fun trip, and the kiddos have been asking about it since school started.  We are letting you know about the trip early, because it follows the holidays so closely.  We are asking for a $25 donation to our Dollar a Day fund to cover student tickets and bus costs.  Adult companion tickets will be an additional cost. More information about the exact amount will be available closer to the trip.
