Dear McNamara Families,

I hope you had had a terrific weekend! I am going to try switching the timing of family updates, and begin sending them on Mondays. I hope this will help lighten the amount of information received on Fridays!

We are excited for the week ahead with both our spring book fair and our district-wide spirit week! Please scroll down to see all of the themed days.

Have a terrific week,

Mindy Howard
