Dear Parents, Wow another week down and school is moving forward! Mrs. Nyyssonen has shared how well everyone is getting on and adjusting to grade 5, which is great news. I (Mrs. Jorge) would like you to know that due to my situation I’ll need minor surgery on Monday and will return to work on Wednesday. I have missed everyone so much and know how difficult it is to be gone and the affect it has on routine. Thank you for patience. I loved the get well cards from students and appreciate your prayers and thoughts. This is not how I would have imagined the start to the year, but thankful for how everyone has stepped up in helping, their flexibility, and care. It has meant so much. I’ll see everyone very soon and ready to jump back in! With love, Mrs. Jorge.
