the Board. Next year’s schedule is
finished except for a few minor adjustments.
Staff is working on requisitions and will begin on inventory soon. Kindergarten Round-Up was well attended. Parents had a number of questions which we
answered to their satisfaction. I’m

The students in my room participated in a number of other activities
that week, and I provided them with some fun homework activities.
