Hello Parents!

We can’t believe that it is December. We were so excited to see so many families at our Fraction Pie event. The third grade will be going on a field trip to the National Geographic Museum on December 14th. If you haven’t had a chance, please return your student’s field trip form and money to school. As always, please reach out if you have any questions!

Mrs. Lopez and Ms. Fischette
