Dear Families,
Information on our last, big writing project is coming home today. Most work will be completed in school, however, you can support at home by checking in on your child's progress. This project is a special keepsake for you and your child - help them stay on track and focused to get it done. Also, many important dates/events are coming up - please mark your calendars.
Thanks, Chris Whipkey
