Wow! This is definitely a busy time of year! If I don't get a chance to see you this week, I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy winter break. I am looking forward to everything slowing a bit and getting some time to relax and have fun with my family. I know your children are looking forward to the same with you! Enjoy!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported the Wolves on Wheels fundraiser, including our wonderful parent sellers! Mrs. Paz, Ms. Parra, Dr. Guanlao, and I really appreciate your support and are looking forward to a fun night with you in January! We will not be selling tickets in front of the school this week, but if you'd still like to make purchases you can send checks or cash to the classroom with your child and we sell tickets for the $20 price this week.
