Dear Parents,

Hope you all had a great time at the auction. Unfortunately, I had another commitment and couldn't be there, but I understand it was a wonderful evening. Isn't the new Mitchell Family Center awesome?

As you might imagine, we are anxious to be outside to enjoy the spring weather. Please remember to send a sweater or lightweight jacket to school with your child, as the temps are still quite unpredictable.

We still enjoy a morning snack, but I've noticed that several children have been going without lately. Believe me, a nutritious snack helps your child stay focused and provides him or her with enough energy to have a productive day.

Thank you all for sending in the permission slips and fees for our Ann Arbor trip. This is one field trip we pay (in part) in advance. Thanks again for your timely response.

Remember, no school for first graders on Friday.

Have a great week!

Ms. Kopilchack
