TGFD Graduation and Special Recognitions
I was happy to see so many parents attend our TGFD Graduation on Tuesday morning. Two of our students were recognized during the ceremony. Madison was one of five students chosen from 5th grade to read her TGFD "Promise Letter" to everyone, and Chris received an Honorable Mention from the Citizen's Bank essay contest. Congratulations to them and all the students who have promised to live drug free!
Spring Open House and Book Fair
Thank you to the many families who visited our classroom during the Spring Open House and Book Fair. I know the students were excited to show off their Chinese lanterns and brochures, Me Front Pages, and other works on display. I enjoyed the opportunity to chat briefly with so many of you, too!
