Dear Families,
I hope everyone had a successful week and that the break was restful for all! I have been at a conference this week and am very much looking forward to seeing all our Kozaks on Monday. Next week is Spirit Week! Please encourage/help your child to participate. We are excited for the Fall Festival on November 3rd – please reach out if you are able to help.
As the weather gets colder, please make sure your children are prepared to be outdoors during parts of the day!
Best regards,
Rachel Geary
