Dear friends, I’m so excited! Our school was just told that we won the California Distinguished School award for academic excellence! This is quite an honor and we’re all thrilled!
I wish I could tell you that this award means we’ll get extra money for our school, but no – it’s just an award! However, we’ll get a cool flag to fly at our school and we can paint a graphic that tells everyone we’re a California Distinguished School. Seriously, we all worked hard – both the teachers and our families- so it’s a nice acknowledgement, especially because it seems like teachers are being ill-treated all over our country.
Friday we present our Children’s Literature Festival presentation to our parents and the school at Flag Ceremony. They were unable to come to the Literature Festival and everyone wants to see it so – Take Two! We also have an Easter Egg Hunt just before that and a party to NOT celebrate Easter. I’m hoping (fingers crossed everyone!) that my kiddos can keep it together after the party in order to do the presentation. It should be an interesting afternoon…. Wish us luck!
