Happy New Year Mustang Family! We hope you have had a wonderful break. Are your children bored yet? Remind them there is still time for them to beat their boredom while preparing for their return to school in a few short days. They can complete the winter packet if they are bored. If they turn it in on Tuesday completed in its entirety, they will receive a treat, and their name will be entered into a drawing for some fun prizes. We will send a parent newsletter with updates and reminders on Monday. We hope you enjoy the next 2 days remaining on winter break. We will see students back on Tuesday January 7th starting at 7:50am.
