Take some time to sit down and set goals with your child(ren) for the new year. They may want to be more fast and fluent readers. They might want to work to commit their math facts to memory. If we can be of any help with the goals, please feel free to contact us.
Lincoln Action Program “Free to Save” Program: You will find a brochure on this valuable program in your child’s Wednesday Folder today.
