Dear Families,

The students are putting the finishing touches on their portfolio pieces. They have worked very hard on the four pieces that make up their portfolios (letter to reviewer, personal narrative/memoir, poem/short story, and feature article/persuasive letter). To celebrate the end of this section of hard work (we’re not finished yet!), we’d like to honor all students who are finished with their portfolios by Friday with an ice cream party. Please indicate below if you would be able to help or bring something for the party.

 Thank you for all your help and for raising such wonderful writers!
