Chapel Program
Your children were precious as they acted out the story of Stick and Stone in our chapel
program today. I was so proud of them! They worked so hard getting ready for the program,
and their hard work certainly paid off. They made a special memory for all of us! I would like
to thank all of you for helping them learn their parts.

Remind your child to collect pledges for the Color Fun Run!

Mystery Reader

I would like to thank Andrea Turner,

Julias mom, for being our Mystery
Reader today. I appreciate her
willingness to share her time and
talents with us. It was a great way
to end our week!

Thanks!

Thank you for all the many ways

that you and our Parents Club
showed appreciation to the
teachers this week! It has been a
wonderful week!

Please return your childs April
Reading Calendar on Monday.
We will not keep a Reading
