Week of May 14-18

Happy Friday once again!

The students are 75% done with testing.  They did math over two days.  Science is the last for them this coming Monday and Tuesday.  Remember that Mrs. Loh and I are offering morning dodgeball on both Monday and Tuesday at 7:45.  We had 21 kids join us last week and would love to have more!  Send kids right to the gym.
