A BRUIN OF ST. DOROTHY SCHOOL: BELIEVES, IS RESPONSIBLE, USES WORDS, IS INVOLVED, IS NOURISHED IN MIND, BODY AND SOUL

Dear Parents,

            The children and parents all worked very hard last week getting the classroom ready for Open House.  I would especially like to thank Nicole Brown, Grandma Irene, and Mr. Romero for spending countless hours working on the art display, mission tiles, and covered wagons.  It was great to see so many of you on Sunday (Open House).

            Taco Dude was a big success.  Special thanks to all that helped out with the fundraiser.  I appreciate all that you do for the 4^th grade. 

            On Thursday, for Student Appreciation Day, parents are asked to write a simple note of praise/appreciation and send it to the office to be delivered to your child.  No gifts, flowers, or balloons will be allowed.
