Hi Parents!
Happy Friday! It's hard to believe we have made it to Spring Break! Truth be told, I'm kinda limping to the finish line. It will be nice to have some time with my children. I am looking forward to heading south to meet up with my cousin and her children. We are going to be spending some time at Carolina Pines, an RV resort in South Carolina. My kids are hoping the weather is warm enough to enjoy the waterpark! Maybe if I am lucky, I can bring some of that warm weather back with me! Before we have a week off from school, here's your weekly update.
Spring Break Bucket List Reading Incentive
The kids have made a "Bucket List" Spring Break reading incentive. If they complete and return this signed bucket list on April 20th or 21st, I will let them make a trip to the treasure box or receive a Pawsome award (their choice) The catch is, they must turn it complete and signed by you on the due date. No late submissions will be accepted! 🙂 (Responsibility lesson here)
Yearbook Orders
The window to purchase a yearbook is quickly approaching. If you would like to buy your child a yearbook, please use this link to place your order. The deadline for orders is April 23rd.
