From the desk of Mrs. O’Grady
Thank you all so much for making an effort to get your children to us each day of ISASP testing! We had the fewest number of absences during this time than any recent years!!!! We appreciate all your efforts!
Transition tours for our 5th graders will occur as normal this year. Each class will take a turn going over and visiting with the MS counselor, Mrs. Stanley and touring the building. We know this is a BIG DEAL in the life of a 5th grader!
We have lots of events coming up to help us keep busy and motivated as the year winds down. I have included the Olympic Day schedule and we encourage you to come and spend some time having fun with your child.
This is the last edition of the newsletter that I will be writing. It has been a pleasure working with you and your children. Working in the school that raised me, and in the community that my family and I have lived in for many years has been a blessing!!!! I wish all of you the best and know that Mrs. Huismann will do an amazing job!!!!!!
Love ,
Mrs. O’Grady
