Lots of things happened this week....

Your kids were fantastic in creating, organizing and presenting their obstacle courses to several classes on Tuesday. It was a lot of hard work and they were great leaders! 
The swimming field trip was a great success too. We're sure many of them had a wonderful sleep Wed as they seemed to have lots of fun in the pool! Thanks to Mrs.Brown for organizing both great Gym events!
We had Ms. DiLucca  share information on Growth Mindsets so please ask your child to share with you what it was about. She will be visiting us next week too.  

Here is what is happening next week...
