Dear Parents:

It is truly hard to believe that this is the last week of school. The year has flown by and I am so grateful for this wonderful class of students. They have grown so much not only academically but in their social skills and how they treat each other. Over the summer, please do not let your child forget all that they have learned this year. Have them read daily and join the Grandview Heights Library summer reading program. Have them practice their math facts and use everyday opportunities to further their learning -- write a postcard to a friend from your vacation, calculate the miles driven each day on a trip, cook and measure using fractions, plant a garden ... the possibilities are endless! Above all else, keep them safe and let them play and be kids! Have a wonderful summer and thank you again for all of your support through out the year!!
