Sorry about the week of no blog posts…it was a busy one with Olympic Day. Thank you to all the 6^th grade parents who were able to help out and make it a great day for our studnets.

Our final party of the year will be a “Brunch” (breakfast at lunch) on Thursday. The students have been asking about this all year and we will finally make it a reality. If you would like to donate something, please let Miss Lau know by Wednesday. At that time, she purchase anything not donated. This is late notice so do not feel that you HAVE to donate. Miss Lau will make it work no matter what! If there are any parents that want to help us make the food, you are more than welcome!
