We are off to a Great Start!

We are heading into our second full week of school, but the sights and sounds make me think we have been here much longer.  Your children are well on their way to feeling part of a community where anything is possible!

Community Meeting: We had our first meeting last Friday!  We reviewed our Community Charter, celebrated September birthdays, and introduced our theme, Together We Make a World of Difference!  #Muracocares.  I also asked the students to complete a project where students have the opportunity to show how they are making our school/world a better place.  Ms. Gualteri shared her self-portrait to ignite students' creativity. Directions for our community project will be coming home today.

Instrumental Music Lessons:  Lessons will begin this Wednesday, September 21, for students in grade 3-5 who registered.  Below please find the schedule.
