Spring Open House and Book Fair
I enjoyed seeing so many of you Thursday evening at our Spring Open House and Book Fair. I know the students appreciated the opportunity to show off their hard work on various classroom projects. Also, I was able to purchase several new classroom library books using generous donations from PTO and homeroom families - Thank you!
