Greetings Parents,
This past week we wrapped up Milestones testing and will finish our MAP testing. This week we have our STEM Expo and STEM Night on Thursday. This is a great event to come and have hands-on activities focused on our garden.
We have so many great things coming as we wind down this year. Please come out to support your students and our school! Thank you for helping make Laurel Ridge a great place to learn and grow!
Have a great week,
Ms. Hartman
