Thank you to Amelia's family for the wonderful snack of yogurt and fruit for our Friday shared snack!

Fort Ross: The students are bringing home an assignment today to share with you. It is about their Fort Ross Character. Jeff sent an email regarding this assignment with details about a letter writing project for an adult in the family to complete. If you do not receive the email, or need to know more about it, please be in touch. If your child looses track of the assignment, which has a photocopy of their work so far, please see this document for the framework they are using.

Here are the assignment guidelines for the kids:
