Good Morning My Second Grade Family,

Thank you all for attending Back to School Night.  Your presence explains why the children are so kind and interesting. Of course there are things that slipped my mind.  I am looking for a parent that would be willing to be a homeroom parent. As homeroom parent I would need your help in organizing a schedule for story parent (in the past we used sign up genius).  We are hoping to have guest readers for our classroom.  Story telling is usually on a Friday at 2:15.

Thanks again for all your support,

Judy Manning
