Hello, Dear Families,
Erik and I are so grateful to have had the chance to meet with so many of you last week. The both of us look forward to conference time -- to have the chance to reflect about each child, their growth, to laugh about a funny anecdote, to feel touched by challenges overcome, or to move forward and be ready to continue to guide the children to tackle on new challenges. We feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with you and your children.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Dates and Reminders
iRace - Wednesday, March 22
On Wednesday, March 22, we will celebrate our unique iRace (Identity, Race Awareness, Cultural Education) event at Great River. From 12:00 to 1:00 there will be a potluck lunch, featuring dishes derived from cultures all over the world. Each year, the event would not happen without generous volunteering from parents and community members like you. It is a time of celebrating community and being together with good food.
If you are able, please send a healthy dish to share with our community. A main dish or side is appreciated. Items could reflect your cultural heritage or be a favorite family recipe. If you wish for your dish to be returned, please send it to school in a clearly labeled container. Crock pots needing heat are fine...just send heating directions along.
Spring Break - March 27-31 - No School
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend and here's to the beginning of Spring!
With Gratitude,
-- Jessy Eaton Fabel
