Teacher & Student Requests
I have been asked to ask for kleenex! Please bring in an extra box or two on occasion, as well as expo markers and hand gel. It would really help our classroom teachers and students!
Last Note
We are preparing summer reading lists this week, as well as a little packet to keep math “fresh” in their minds over the summer. These will be distributed with report cards in May. As always, let me know if you have any questions.
Deus vobiscum,
Audri Wood
Upper School Principal
