ES Principal ENotes: March 14, 2016

Dear Parents,

Thank you to everyone who came out for our 3rd annual Family Reading Night last Thursday. It was a big success, with nearly 200 people in attendance. I would also like to thank Miriam James and Heidi Laffay who organized the event. Who knows, maybe a Family Math Night will be soon on the horizon!

As the weather warms up, we will be asking for your help with supervision after school. All elementary aged students- even those within walking distance of school- must be actively supervised by an adult. Your partnership is required to ensure our school cafeteria, playground and hallways are appropriately used after the school day is complete.

Warmly,
Jen
