The third grade teachers will be sending out information about the last week of school.

The children are creating a very special surprise for Mother's Day.  We will need four pictures of the children from baby up to now.  Example:  one baby picture, one picture from about age 1 or 2, one picture from 3, 4, or 5, and one picture of now.  These pictures can be with mom or dad and siblings so long as your third grader is featured in the picture. You may want to scan the pictures so that originals are not damaged.

Note to fathers:  We will create something special for you too later on in May for the children to give to you on Father's Day.
