Aloha B4 Ohana,
 
I hope you all had a memorable winter break. I can't believe that we are half way through the year! There have been a few changes in our classroom where we had to say goodbye to a few of our friends and we will also be welcoming new friends. I am proud of our B4 students and their accomplishments in the first semester and look forward to working with your students in the New Year!
 
Thank you for your continued support,
Ms. Reyes
