Hey Panda Family,
10 days to go! These last two weeks it is so important that we all remain flexible, pitch in to help when you see a need, and stay above the line. Y'all do an amazing job of all these things every day, but it is most important as we get closer to the finish line. Be a cheerleader for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders next week as they show off all they have learned this school year! The extra motivation and confidence may be just what they need to succeed. Have a wonderful weekend!
"Mother is a verb. It's something you do. Not just who you are."
Happy Mother's Day! Thank you so much to each of you for showing a mother's love and care to all our students each day 💚🐼
