Reminders about Student Drop-Off and Pick Up
Student Artwork at City Hall
Congratulations to those students who have artwork displayed at City Hall until April 23! The work is around the 2nd and 3rd floor landing on the Market Street side of the building, along the 3rd floor hallway and the third floor landing on the downtown mall side of the building.
As Spring Springs...
As the weather turns warmer, please remember that temperatures vary within the building and students should have a layer that will keep them comfortable in the air-conditioning. Please avoid spaghetti straps and short shorts or skirts. Flip flops are not recommended, as students have recess daily, and they tend to prevent students from running or they break in the process of active play. Thank you, PTO, for an Awesome Spring Fair!
Once again, we lucked out with a beautiful evening and a well-executed, fun-filled spring fair. Thank you to Nancy Hopkins and all the volunteers who made the Spring Fair a huge success. |
