Transcript of the video

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It is hard to believe but when we return to school next week we will be in the month of June and the school year will be drawing to a rapid close.  

This week was filled with a number of celebrations of learning including 8th grade portfolio presentations and our K-4 Field Day. Our 4th and 5th grade student council also held a movie afternoon yesterday for 3rd-5th grades and tonight our 6-8 grade student council will be sponsoring this year’s final dance for our middle school students. 

We know that the end of the school year is a busy time and many families will be PCSing. If you are PCSing and plan to hand carry records when you withdraw your child(ren) from school please be sure to call our office to let us know so that we have enough time to prepare the records by the last day of school.

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday.

Warm regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr
