Parent teacher conferences are next Tuesday. I am looking forward to meeting with each of you and your child about your childs progress. Come prepared with any questions or concerns that you might have. If you wish to speak to me alone, that can be arranged at the end of the student-led conference. We had a record year in Tupperware sales! We are thrilled! We sold over $4,400 in Tupperware. That will equate to around $1,700 in profit to put into our 5th grade fund! Thank you for the support in selling and buying.
