What a memorable week, being able to FINALLY go on a field trip again!  It was the first time on a bus and a field trip for many of our students, and despite the heat, we loved experiencing the Chattahoochee Nature Center. The beaver, owls, hawks, and beautiful trails were amazing! A big thank you to Mrs. Kelley for chaperoning and helping us so much!

I can't believe it's already time to start preparing for Fall Conference Day on Wednesday, October 12th! I would love to sit down and discuss your child's progress (thus far) with you. Please take a moment to look over the Sign-Up Genius and select a time on this day that works well for you. Please email me directly if you have a conflict and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. Thank you in advance!
