News From Room 207: Important Dates
Week of 5/6/13
It is hard to believe that we only have 7 weeks of school left. Our last day of school will be on Thursday, June 20, 2013. As we enter the final stretch, please remind your children to continue to demonstrate self-control and put forth their very best effort every day. This can be a challenge as the weather improves and the end of the year approaches. Thank you in advance for your support with this.
