Thank you to all the families that came to parent teacher conferences.  I really enjoyed visiting with you about your child's progress throughout the first quarter.  

Our fall party will be on Monday, October 31st.  The costume parade will begin at 2:00 in the gym.  Students may wear their costume to school or bring it to change in to before the parade.  Remember no scary masks or props that could be considered weapons.  The classroom party will begin around 2:30.  Thanks also to all those who brought treats for our fall party.
