SUMMER HAS ARRIVED.....

Dear Parents,

No More homework sheets for now! Hurrah!!!

Over the summer months I would like to encourage all the students to read regularly. Have fun reading together and try discussing the stories with them. The more the children read....the more they learn....the more they grow... the more they discover and OH the confidence they acquire!

And keep using the blog, e-Pearl and Raz kids.


I would like to take  this opportunity to thank all of you for your continuous support and encouragement this year.  Your children are important to me and we had a good year together. The end of the year always bring a little sadness as they go to the next grade.

I wish you a wonderful summer filled with happiness and fun!

Enjoy this special time with your family.

Sincerely,

Irene Tsimiklis
