3A News:  June Edition

THE LAST NEWSLETTER!

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Your children have brought me joy each day of this school year.  They have accomplished and grown so much and I am so proud of them.  I would like to wish all the students good luck in grade four as they start their learning in the junior years. 

A note to my 3Awesome students:

Everyone’s good at something – find your “thing.”

Don’t ever forget :   “You are smart.  You are kind.  You are important.”

Thank you for being a part of my life this past school year.  Have a fantastic summer!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Allison
