Announcements and Homework

Dear Second Grade,

I cannot praise our little American Heroes enough for last Thursday night. Our Living Wax Museum was a great success. I know the children learned so much from this experience. I enjoyed watching them put all of their knowledge into action. A special thank you to Mrs. Aguayo and Mrs. Del Toro for putting together the signs pictures and brochures. Another thank you to Mr. Richardson for the door signs. We appreciate all of you who came to support us.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Sederstrom
