Dear Parents,
I really can't believe the 2nd quarter is almost over. The year is going back too fast! It always does. I hope that your Christmas break is a wonderful one. I will really miss your child, and hope that you and your family have a restful Christmas break just getting to enjoy time together and worshipping Jesus during this season.
Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Poncy
