Last Day Tomorrow!

We've made it through 4th grade! I am so proud of each of the kids and how far they have come this year. Thank you to all the parents who helped out this year both at at school and by working with your children at home. We couldn't do it without you! I hope everyone has a safe and fun summer and comes back rested and ready for 5th grade. Don't forget to read a lot this summer! Thanks for a great year!
