How are you doing?


Noontime on Tuesday, 3/24/2020: Snow, sunshine AND warmth!  BEAUTIFUL!

From Mrs. Workman: Time to get creative!  Can you create a color wheel at home with found objects?

(Don't forget the neutrals in the middle.)

Parents, you should have received a letter from the principal this morning (Tuesday) by email. If you didn't receive it, contact the office ncourville@aos93
