Dear Parents,
It was great seeing you at Open House last week. Thank you so much for your concern and effort. The ID books look great. We will be sharing them this week and then they will be sent home. The students completed the entire book by themselves, no editing or conferencing. I learned a lot about each child. What an great group of kids.
Thanks,
Ellen Marino
