Check out this wonderful article that of course I discovered through Twitter!

I hope you will find it interesting! Lots of great thoughts!

See the note from Sue Curry, our school psychologist, she is planning to offer a parent workshop but would like your feedback on topics. I will attach her form to the email version of this blog for your consideration. Please send your form back to the main office and we will be sure she gets your responses.

I just want to give a shout out to the administrative assistants in the office. Patty and Karen are truly the secret ingredient to our well-oiled machine. They would simply do anything to make sure our students are safe and cared for. They have their own fan club who stop by daily to find out if they will be outside at recess time. They make so many things happen behind the scenes….. Administrative Professionals Day is “scheduled” for the Wednesday during vacation so I wanted to thank them, blog style, so you all know how important they are to Wawaloam (although you probably already knew!).

Enjoy the weekend and the signs of spring! Take a minute to notice the crocus buds and the daffodils! There are Spring events everywhere! I am hoping to get to the Zoo on Sunday!!

Respectfully,

Melissa Marino
