Welcome to Ms Reardon’s Room
Hi!
My name is Candace Pearl. I am Blake’s mom and Ms Reardon’s room parent this year.
I will be assisting Ms. Reardon in communicating any needs she may have in the classroom including class projects, supplies, holiday parties and other volunteer opportunities.
I chatted with Ms Reardon and she is looking for any parents who would like to volunteer to facilitate a GT group once or twice a week? There are about 5 kids that are ready to push on and do a little group project! If you are able to do so please contact her directly.
Book fair kicks off tomorrow!!
PLEASE consider donating to Ms Reardon’s E-Wallet so that she can stock up on some new books for her classroom! This benefits our children!!
