I would like to thank Emily Crouch for her hard work
 while I am recuperating from knee surgery.
We have been in contact and she has been sharing what your children have been doing in class.
The fourth quarter comments on the progress report will be from her.  

I hope to return near the end of this month.
 I have missed working with your children
and look forward to next year.





Have a happy and safe summer vacation.
 

I will continue to work on this site over the summer.  If you would like to see something added to the site, email me at
