Discovery Garden Clearance Sale:  The First Grade Garden Sale will occur during our final week of school on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only! We will have rock bottom prices on herbs from our own first grade garden, beautiful flowers, cacti, etc. Get your summer gardens off to a great start and help our first graders practice their "money math"! The sale will take place at drop off, lunchtime and pick-up only.

2010-2011 Student Classroom Assignments:As we approach the end of this school year and prepare for next Fall, please be reminded that our teachers and the Principal will be responsible for deciding the 2010-2011 student assignments.  As noted in your Parent/Student Handbook, parents may not request specific teachers.  Prior to the start of school next September, the new class rosters will be posted in the front of the school. At this time, we do not know the release date for the class lists, but please check our school's website beginning September 8th for notice regarding the date and time.
   
Have Fun:It's been a joy and a privilege to serve as your school principal this year. I wish each and every one of you a productive, yet restful and rejuvenating summer. Remember to love everything and everyone as much as you possibly can.
 
Yours truly,
Joan Ingle, Principal
