We had a great time at the Wizard of Oz. You should be proud of your child. They were very respectful of the students performing and were silent walking in their halls to not disturb the other students while they were in class. (They did a better job that some fifth graders!) Make sure to tell them they were a great audience.

With the weather getting colder, please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately. Mr. Whittier feels strongly that the students need to spend as much time outside during recesses as possible, even if it is cold outside.
