Important Information

1.    Our Celebration of Learning is on Wednesday, June 26^th from 9-10.  We will begin in the library with a speech from Mrs. Daniel’s and the presentation of the awards.  Then, we will proceed to the gym for juice and cookies.  We would love to see you all there to celebrate with us!

2.    On Thursday, June 27th we will be having some “Outdoor Fun”.  For this day, we are asking that students bring some outdoor toys that they can share with the class to play with.  These might include: bubbles, sidewalk chalk, lawn darts, etc.  Please remember that anything that is sent to school MIGHT NOT return as it might get damaged while we are playing with it, or it might get used up (like bubbles).  It will also have to be SHARED with everyone!  Note that items such as water guns will not be allowed as we are staying within school policy.

As this is the Last TWAS, have an AMAZING summer!!!
