Summer Letter:

Dear First Grader,

I hope you have enjoyed your summer break, and have many things to share when we get back to school! We have so much to learn together this year, starting with learning about each other. Please bring one item (picture, ticket, small trinket) that describes your favorite part of summer vacation to share with us on the first day of school.

Our classroom has moved from where you went for Step-up Day. We are now in the room next to Mrs. Marsh’s room and across from the Arts room. I am very excited about our new room and am working hard to get it all set up. If you would like to see it before school starts, you are invited to stop in during the Open House on Monday, August 31st at 2:00 PM. Mrs. Gunian, Mr. Stultz and I will all be there putting the finishing touches on our rooms and getting ready for the school year.

I cannot wait to see you and your family at the first day of school Pancake Breakfast. We will begin serving breakfast at 8:15 am. Also, don’t forget that we do not have school on Friday, September 4th or Monday, September 7th. On the first day of school I will send home more information about important days to remember, but if you or your parents have any questions before school starts I am available through email at sconnor@ kearsarge.org.
