TURN BACK TIME!
Dear Croce Families,
Thank you for joining us at our Halloween Parade and the thrilling performance of "Thriller!" It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm from our students and families alike. We are especially proud of our students, who put on an amazing show with their creative costumes, and we'd like to extend a big thank you to our 4th graders for hosting the "Thriller" performance. They practiced hard, and students in all participating classes did wonderful—thank you!

Here are a few other important dates to remember in November:
