Dear Parents and Students,
   Thank you all for the nice ending to the school year. Alex, Zoila and I are so touched with the generosity and kind words. Thank you so much to all of the families that contributed to the group gift and all of the other gift cards, plants, vases, candies were so thoughtful.
   A few pieces of business:
  • Summer homework goals are posted to this website. Links to Study Island and Accelerated Reading/Math are under links. Please get started early to reach those "Student-Set Goals". If you have a question, please email me.
  • I still have need for animal care if anyone feels they can take the bunnies or birds.
  • The Supply List for 2012-2013 is posted below. Hopefully this will help with keeping the cost down (bargain shopping). As things were added, I tried to take things off to keep the cost down.
I hope everyone has a delightful and relaxing summer. I will be teaching Pre-Primary art for the month of June and traveling a bit in July. Please contact me as needed via email. Thanks again for all of the support.
Christy
