Hello! Happy New Year 2014! I hope you and your child had a relaxing winter break! It's back to the grind! First of all, congratulations are in order--you probably noticed the picture in the paper regarding the $300 that was raised for the New Hope Humane Society. Thanks to you and your child this was made possible! Our goal was only $100; Mrs. Zimmer and I were very pleased--and a bit surprised--that we exceeded our goal by so much! Congrats to the kids and thank you as well! Please see important announcements for the upcoming week ahead.
- Report cards will be coming home this week. Please look for this in your child's backpack. Something else to keep in mind--parent/teacher conferences are only a month away.
