News From Mrs. Rowe and Mr. Miller
We have had a great week this week. This week wrapped up the second
trimester here at school. Report cards will be coming home soon. Please
note that the Dublin Difference Showcase will take place next Tuesday at
Jerome High School (6:30-8:00). Everyone is welcome. Our class will have
a few students presenting/sharing some of their wonder work while there.
We hope that you have a wonderful long weekend with your families (no
school Friday- teacher work day)! As always, if you have any questions,
please feel free to email us.
