I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break, it certainly was a beautiful week! I must say I am looking forward to seeing all my sweet first grade friends Tuesday morning!

First a few thank you's!

~To Rae Best who came to my rescue when I was out with the stomach bug and who also watched the children while I attended a grade level meeting. The children love Rae and she does a fabulous job!

~To Angie Granberry who helped decorate the first grade hall for the Character Parade. It looked just precious!!

~To Tony Antoline who came and read to the class during Read Across America week.

~To Missy Breedlove who did the precious heart handprint craft with the children for Valentine's Day!

~To everyone who sent in tissue, Clorox wipes and paper towels.
