Calling all artistic/crafty parents! Let's make a piece of art for each grade to auction off at the Soiree on Oct. 28. These artworks incorporate a mark or effort of each child in the grade (at the Williams Campus). It's a fun way to be involved in the classroom (or on the playground). (If you aren't the artistic type, you can still help with execution.) Please contact Emily Palit at emilypalit@gmail.com or 504-621-3853 if you want to help out with your child's grade.
Ms. Mitchell checked in with Ms. Fitzpatrick's first graders on Thankful Thursday. Some things they were thankful for were brothers and sisters, teachers, Roblox, video games, air conditioning, everything, and a wonderful community. So grateful!
