Announcement for this week of Jan. 4-8.
I'm so glad to be back full time! I've really missed working with my students
and can't wait to hear all about their holidays. I have some exciting news as
well, but I'll let them tell you when they get home:)
Our new AR point goal for this week is 3 points.
Behavior Champs Celebration will be this Thursday.
2nd 9 weeks AR celebration will be this Friday. Students can dress up in
