Week of June 8th: Thank you!
Dear Parents,
This week in class the students will play games, reflect on and celebrate their year in second grade, and say goodbye to our leaving friends.
We want to say a huge thank you to all of you for your support this year. When we started the year we never could have imagined what the last few months have been like! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the support you have given to your child, to us, and to the Graded community.
It has been a pleasure teaching your child this year!
All the best,
Shannon, Sandra, Jeff, Jessie, Renata, Kênia, Betina, and Matthew
