Copper Beech Parent Update

Dear Families,

This upcoming week we are looking forward to many winter celebrations including our Winter Concert on Monday for fourth and fifth grade students. We are looking forward to seeing the smiles on your children's faces as they enjoy their final week with you before the winter break. As always, thank you for all you do to make our school a wonderful place to be!

Best,

Ms. Stokes
