Dear Kramer Families,

We hope you are having a wonderful Fall Break! This week we celebrated all of the students who had perfect attendance and no tardies for the first 9 weeks! Thank you for ensuring your students are here and on time everyday! Remember you have Monday off. See you Tuesday!

Go Colts!
