Class information evening

 Yesterday we held our annual classroom information evenings. This was a great opportunity to discuss some housekeeping for the year and get everybody on the same page. I also held my camp meeting at this time too which was a good draw card for my parents. I ended up getting 11 parents that came along.

ALL Network Meeting - 5th March
