Quarter 3, Week 7

Hello Families! 

I sure missed our Great Hearts Day celebrations on Friday! I am so thankful for parents that helped Mrs. Baugh with our class party and helped our kiddos have a great day! I spent the day caring for my daughter who was sick with strep throat. I am looking forward to getting back in the classroom with your scholars this week!
