Dear Parents,

We hope everyone had a very nice weekend, especially our Moms!

A big thank you to all the parents and DPTO for organizing the teacher's lunch on Friday. It was delicious and much appreciated!

We would like to congratulate 5 students who have dedicated much time to practicing their math skills with IXL- Isabella, Pamela, Claudia, David, and James. Way to go guys!
The students will continue doing their MAP assessments this week; Monday and Friday. Please make sure that your child comes to school well rested and has eaten a healthy breakfast. Please make sure they also come to school with a water bottle filled with fresh water.
There are a number of activities happening at school this month, like the annual garage sale, Chronicles of Discovery Gala, and the general assembly.Our summer camp is also back, beginning  June 10th.
