Dear McNamara Families,

We had so much fun with the district-wide spirit week last week! We love to see students' creativity on all of the themed days. We also enjoyed having the Book Fair throughout the week, with the Science Fair being a terrific event on Thursday! Thank you to the PTA for supporting our school with these events and activities.

Today our teachers will be engaging in professional development on many different topics, including a focus on writing instruction. We look forward to welcoming all of the students back to school tomorrow!

Have a wonderful week ahead,

Mindy Howard
