Parents,
   We are fast approaching the last month of the school year!  So...  I wanted to give a quick update.  To finish out the month of April see the following:

April 26 - End of the Year DIBELS testing for Greenpod Kindergarteners.  Make sure your child goes to bed and gets good sleep the night before this test and gets a good breakfast the morning of the 26th. We want them all to look like shooting stars with their final test results!  :)

April 28 - Kindergarten Gotcha Party - Those who have earned 3 gotcha tickets for getting caught doing something good will be going to the talent show at 1:30 p.m. in the Gym.
