Our last fund raiser is the muffin fund raiser next Monday. Last day to bring in slip/muffin choice is Wednesday. Thank you for all the permission slips. The trip will be here before you know it!!!!
This is the hard part of the year- nice weather and more time to play. Please talk to your child that SCHOOL IS NOT OVER and that homework and studying is still FIRST AND FOREMOST........ and getting HARDER EVERYDAY!!!!!!!! The homework is sloppy and studying is suffering by the grades on tests, quizzes and projects. They are quite restless, social and very, very talkative. I love them all too much to see the last semester decline .
