Hello 2D Families, a reminder that we have the museum field trip tomorrow and will be leaving school at 8:40, please let me know if your child will be absent tomorrow. I know there is a lot of road work going on so we are expecting some possible late arrivals this week. 

Also, this Friday will be our Spring Fling Fun Run at 8:30 in front of the school, all are welcome! 

Next week there will be no school for April break.

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great week!
