A Note from Mrs. Danley...

Dear Parents,
Dont forget to be working on your Valentine Box for our class
contest. Boxes are due by Wednesday, February 10th. Be creative! Progress Reports will be sent home on Friday next week. I
am so proud of my second graders and how well
they are doing! We will be working very hard
over the next several months. Continue to encourage your child to come to school prepared
and always do their best each and every day.
Mrs. Danley :)
