Week of March 23-27

Dear Parents,

This is going to be a very short week. Since you all know this coming Thursday and Friday we will have no school because of the pavement process of the street. This is why we will be focusing on a review of all the concepts that we have learned so far. There will be NO new content introduced this week.

As you already know, this Tuesday we are all going to Sebastian Ortez´s house for our Easter Egg Hunt. We are going to be leaving the school around 8:30 a.m. and returning around 2:30 p.m. The Easter Committee met and decided to ask for Lps. 350 to buy the Easter baskets, treats, lunch, hiring of Easter Bunny, Face Painting, Piñata, and more for the students. Since this date was moved from a Friday to a Tuesday, we do not have that much time to collect the money. If you have not sent the money, we would like for you to send it tomorrow Tuesday to take to the party and pay for the expenses.

Please remember the 5 egg shells requested last week. The children will have fun painting these egg shells and then hunting for them on Tuesday in our Easter Party.

We wish each one of you a happy and safe week. We will see each other again on Tuesday, April 7^th.
