Week of April 2, 2012

Hello students and family!

Our Easter break is slowly approaching...

• This Thursday is a short day
• Friday is NO SCHOOL
• School is out until April 16, 2012

After many weeks of timed tests and multiplication facts, the following students will be awarded medals for all of their hard work! If you are not receiving a medal this time, make sure you keep studying your basic facts so that you can get one next time!

Thank you to all of our amazing chaperones! I am happy you had the opportunity to be a part of our experience!

Have a beautiful Easter! Please remember to complete your final Holes project!
