Good Morning Rebels, 

          I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  I wonder what you all did to show Kindness to another person that was bigger and bolder than your first act of kindness? Today is an ‘A’ day so we will go to Music.  Please pick up an Ipad and work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
