PRINCIPAL'S NOTE

Ah, finally a beautiful week of weather. If you can't tell it's spring by the budding of the trees and flowers, you will certainly be able to recognize it with all the field trips that are taking place! Today, Pre-K and Kindergarten students visited Noble Hill Preserve. Check out Facebook and our web page for some super cute pictures!

Thank you, PTA and all of our wonderful parents, who made Teacher's Appreciation Week so special. My very favorite day is Wednesday, when the students bring flowers to their teachers. They come into the building with huge, proud smiles on their faces. It's so heartwarming. Of course, we all love the delicious soup, salad and bread lunch. We stuffed ourselves! I hope you know how much we appreciate all that you do for us; thank you!
