I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weather. Before long the weather
will be hot and sticky. Please send a sport -top water bottle in with your
child so they may drink water when they need it. Parents of girls-e-We have
noticed that some of the girls are not wearing modesty shorts under their
jumpers, please make sure the girls are wearing their complete uniform.
Girls may not wear nail polish or any type of make-up., and hair ribbons or
bows must match the uniform in red, white or navy blue and be minimal
and conservative. Parents to the boys=-sboes, if they cannot tie their own
shoes and keep them tied then they must wear the Velcro shoes until they
learn to tie their shoes. When we return from spring break we will be
starting the 4th quarter- this is the time to change from winter uniform to
summer uniform. Please refer to the student handbook to review the correct
uniform.

Please review the sight word sheet; it's a good review for the sight word

Break. Starting on March 26, we will begin Show-n- Tell every Friday.

Finally, I pray that everyone will have a restful and pleasant time off. The
students are reading so well, please keep up the good work. Visit your local
