Week of Nov. 15th - Nov. 22nd

First of all, congratulations to our chorus performance. The kids did an amazing job Thursday night. I get so amazed when they are able to put together such a powerful performance in the little amount of time. It was awesome and I am looking forward to hearing them perform again!

Secondly, this has been a crazy week. It has been "raining cats and dogs", which means we have spent a lot of time inside. The good this is most of them have latched onto Prodigy during this time. It is a math program that allows them to battle each other. Hopefully, we will not have as much rain this week. Keeping our fingers crossed. Just make sure to send them in warm jackets or coats!
