Drug Awareness Week is coming up!  Look for a red note to come home in the PIE folder.  It’s the week of the 24th and we will be talking about the seriousness and dangers of drugs/alcohol/tobacco.  Refer to the red note to see how your child can dress each day.
We’ve had a great 1st six weeks and have now started the 2nd six weeks.  I’m looking forward to this fresh start because I feel like the kids are now adjusted to how 3rd grade works and are ready to “work hard, play hard” J
