Week of April 13th

Good Afternoon!

This week we will practice a lock down drill with the Downers Grove Police Department.  It is scheduled for Thursday.

Also this week we have Mrs. Waterman in to our class from the Downers Grove Township.  She is leading a program called Bully Busters and we will be learning about the skill of empathy.  There is no homework for this class!  But they need to bring their packet and name card to her class everyday- no leaving it at home!!
