Dear Families,
Thank you to Bernadette Rivera and Lisa Diaz for organizing our holiday party and to all the parents who helped. The children enjoyed playing a pencil game, receiving pencils, decorating cupcakes, and visiting with one another. Our class had a great time. Thank you all so much for the “Let’s go to the Movies” basket. I am definitely having fun with the goodies! All of the surprises that the students brought in were so thoughtful. My family has really enjoyed all the yummy treats! I wish you all a winter break filled with love, laughter, and family togetherness. Best wishes and Happy New Year to you ALL!
