A big THANK YOU to everyone for sending in items for our Harvest Day Celebration. It was a huge success and loads of fun! Check out our web log later this week for photos.

For those of you who were unable to schedule conferences, missed your time, or I had to reschedule, I will be sending home the information we were to discuss. If you have further questions after receiving this update on your child’s progress, let me know and we’ll find a time for a face-to-face conference.
