The Fruit Scoop!
March 2025
Message from Mr. Fournier
Spring seems to be in the air! The snow has finally disappeared, birds are chirping, and mud season has arrived. Hopefully, as the days get longer the warm weather will soon follow. Please be reminded that there is still a chill in the air, so please dress your son/daughter appropriately.
The third quarter will be ending on Friday, April 4th. The teachers and staff are ready to have the students finish the year with a strong academic fourth quarter. Please help us maintain a focus on academic achievement by continuing to monitor your child’s school work and homework folder.
For the safety of the students and families at dismissal only park in the staff parking lot if there is a spot. Do not create a line because this causes a safety risk to our students and families.
