Almost there...

No homework for tomorrow. Everybody is happy about that.

Ms. Pieper gave a presentation on the Yahara writing contest today. Encourage your child to submit an entry. It's a great way to showcase good writing skills.

Please make sure your child is reading over break. It would be great for everybody to add some yellow stars to our bulletin boards.

The excitement is mounting...

Wow! The energy in Blue 2 is incredible these days:)
