You are invited to join Katie Bent (K-2 Special Ed Coordinator), Heidi Manthei (3-5 Special Ed Coordinator, and Jenna Larrenaga (Mindess Principal) for a rising 3rd grade parent coffee at Mindess on Friday, May 10 from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. We'll speak about the transition from Warren to Mindess and allow plenty of time for parent questions. We hope to see you there!

Students listened to the story, "One Word for Kids" by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton and Jimmy Page. We reflected on their time spent at Warren School and talked about making a positive first impression at Mindess - using the concept of ONE word to help guide them.
