            The Baby Boss field trip was a big success and I really enjoyed seeing all of the parents helping each other.  I can tell that many friendships have been made throughout the school year and it is great to see how parents are always willing to give each other a helping hand.  I also want to thank Ms. Kuo for her help and support on the field trip as she was the one that got us the group discount.   

            Next Wednesday we are still planning on going for our community walk and picnic lunch in the park behind the school.  The school will be providing a lunchbox for each student.  We will be performing our community helper song before our walk.

            If anyone has any beautiful pictures from the science fair or Baby Boss field trip could you please send them to me.  I always like having photos for the blog or the year book.

            This month the annual government Outstanding Student Awards were given to one child from each of our elementary school classes. Students are selected by their schools based on several criteria including character, extra-curricular involvement and academics.   Isabel was chosen for the Pre-K class and we are all very proud of her.
