Last week of folders!
Can you believe how close summer is? Every morning, the first thing my kids tell me is the number of school days left in the year. Today it is 5! 5 days left! Are you ready?
This is the last official Wednesday folder of the year! Even though there will probably be some more posts on the website and Facebook through the end of school and summer – so keep an eye out for them. In the meantime, in case I don’t see you before you go…
Have a fantastic summer and see you next year!!!
Reminders about End of Year schedule:
- Memorial Day Holiday- 4 day weekend whoo hoo!
- Awards Assemblies: check out the dates & times here.
- Last Day of school is June 1!
