May News
Hello Parents & supporters,
Well we are in the home stretch now. As of May 1st there are only 29 school days
left. Every day I look at your children and I am amazed by how far they have
come this year. They are absorbing new things faster than I can teach them!
They are just excited to be learning, and it is so much fun watching them have
those “Ah ha” moments.
