Dear Families,

When I went to thank PK 4 this morning, I asked them whether they were 4 or 40 because it is hard to believe children that young were able to create such an AMAZING all-school meeting. Many thanks to Ms. Holt, Ms. Hunter, Ms. Raji and Ms. Conte for their creativity, patience and tons of hard work. Well done!!

Thanks to Ms. Mack this week’s PARCC testing for third graders went off without a hitch. Next week, fourth grades will take the PARCC on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Thursday, May 5th is the PRINCIPAL INTERVIEW DAY. I am sure that the panel will find an outstanding leader for the Shepherd community.

The PTO Gala is tomorrow evening, and I hope to see many of you there. It is my first in my three years of service:).

Attached are some photos from Ms. Conte’s African Dance Club.

Enjoy your weekend,
Phyllis
