We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend! Last week, we held our second meeting for the Latino Family Literacy Project, and parents are loving the opportunity to learn about the importance of foundational literacy. If you missed the first two meetings, it's not too late to join! Our next session is this Thursday—details are enclosed.

Also, our first-ever Family Sweetheart Dance is coming up next week! If you'd like to help, reach out to Borchardt PTO at borchardtpto@gmail.com. If you plan to attend, be sure to grab your tickets in advance at the front office. We can't wait to celebrate with you! ❤️
