Hello Rabbit Creek,
We are excited for our state testing as we have amazing children who are great learners! Thank you in advance to our 3rd through 6th grade parents who have sent in the pennants to encourage your children's success on testing. If you haven't had a chance to write your positive messages on a pennant, please do so and send them in on Monday!
Thank you to the Rabbit Creek PTA for the new microwave that arrived in our lounge this week! Our one remaining microwave was used non stop-we appreciate you!! Also-thank you to our PTA and those who purchased the Square Art products over the last couple of years. The funds raised were used for a guest artist in Art this week and students enjoyed sewing in class.
These next few weeks will be very busy at Rabbit Creek and our calendar lists some events happening in the future. I wanted to be sure you had a chance to plan ahead for great things at school! Watch for more information about end of the year events as they arise. We will also be sharing documents requesting to learn about your family's plans and student information to aid us in planning for the 23/24 school year. Isn't it crazy to be thinking that far ahead?
Have a wonderful weekend.
