Grandparents Day was so much fun!  I enjoyed meeting all of our special visitors…please thank them for spending the day with our wonderful class!!!

For those of you who have not heard, I will be leaving Sunday, May 4^th, and heading to New York and Washington, D.C. with our 7^th and 8^th grade students.  I am very excited, but will certainly miss my 5^th graders.  Mrs. Capana will be taking our class for the week (she is terrific!).  Also, our sixth grade classes will be leaving for Catalina Island on Monday morning.  Please pray for all students, teachers, and chaperones this week…for safety, great learning experiences, and fun!  Thank you!!!

                                                                        Love, Mrs. Yerkes
