Big Day at Castle Rock

We had a great tour of Castle Rock. All of the kids seemed excited and enjoyed our time over there. They really liked the lunch! Just a reminder that they are still 6th graders for 3 1/2 weeks. I still expect them to put forth their best effort and come to school ready to learn and work hard.
Thank you to those of you who have volunteered to bring cookies and/or soda for our graduation celebration on June 4th at 7:00 p.m. We still need more. If you can supply some refreshments, please write me a quick note in your child's assignment notebook or email me.
Have a great evening!
