Notes from the Teacher

*Please study multiplication facts every night. It is essential that your child memorize these facts by the end of the year. The Reedy River Race is March 1 & 2- Please send your forms in as soon as possible. This week is Spirit week. Please note the calendar above. Make sure that your child is at school ON TIME! We start working as soon as the children arrive and those that get to school right at 8 am or after are at a disadvantage.
