                  First Day of School - Thursday, 8/17

                  Today was a good start to the school year!

                  Students were busy with their beginning of the year activities after we went over rules and the classroom set-up.

                  Tomorrow is their first P.E. class. Since the P.E. teacher, Mr. Cross, will begin at 8:10, students will be brought into the classroom, lunch count and attendance will be taken, then I will bring them out to the black top.

                  Just a friendly reminder: clothing appropriate for running around, jumping, stretching, general exercises, etc. is recommended as is a water bottle (with your child's name on it).
