Welcome January

Happy New Year!
It was good to see all of the kids back at school last week! I can't believe we are already in the third nine weeks. Time is flying, but we are moving along and the great thing about this part of the year is we are into the routines of agenda, homework, and schedules.
Here are some things coming up, and as always if you have any questions
e-mail...that is the quickest way to get an immediate response or a note in the agenda!
