Greetings to all families; new and returning. We are so excited about our program for this year. Allow me to share some of the early highlights with you.

Our first field trip is just around the corner. On Friday, September 19th, we will embark on a great adventure as our students will be bound for SONOMA TRAIN TOWN. We will leave the school at 9:15 a.m. and should return shortly after noon. Parents are also welcome to join us on this adventure. If you wish to attend and/or drive students on this field trip, please complete the driver form (to be sent home soon) and return it to the school office. Mrs. Smith will inform you of any information needed.

Every October our school conducts one of our two main fund-raising events, our annual “Harvest Carnival.” This event is very important to our school, and we call upon every family to help out. More details will be forthcoming, but please plan on volunteering your time and talents to this event. Please speak with me soon to volunteer in one of the areas needed: set-up, clean-up, donations, and game hosts to name just a few.

Lastly, I want to express my most heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Debra Taylor and Mrs. Julie Downs. These two wonderful ladies will serve as my classroom assistant throughout this school year. Their contribution has been and will be invaluable to me and to your children. Please take a moment to thank them for the love, care, and concern they are showing for each of your children.

Please do not hesitate to come to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am here to help you and your children.
