Welcome Back to School!

Hello Families! 

Welcome and thank you for visiting our First Grade Blog!  I am excited to begin the year and we are off to a great start! I am loving getting to know you and your children!

Open House is this Tuesday, September, 10 at 6:30- 7:30.  I hope to see you all there and meet you if I haven’t had the chance to yet! Since we only have an hour to visit and with all the information you have been given the past week, I will have a short meeting at 6:30 to go over some important 1^st grade items. After that your student will be your tour guide to show you around and I will be available for any questions you may have. 

Hope to see you all there!!

Love Mrs. Farnes
