Hello Arbor Families!

We hope everyone enjoys a fun time at Family Dance tonight! Here are some other upcoming dates:

Monday we have a field trip to the Botanical Gardens. Because it is a little further away, we will be leaving promptly by 9:15! Please make sure to be on time or keep us updated if you plan on arriving later in the day. We’re planning on returning around 12:30.
Science fair is ongoing! Please make sure your student has written their hypothesis and is beginning their experiment soon.
Read-a-thon is almost over! Make sure you log your books and turn them in to the office!
If you haven’t signed up for parent teacher conferences, please make sure you do so!

Have a fantastic weekend!
