Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences are Tuesday and Thursday next week. Kramer PTG graciously donates meals for these nights so that the teachers and staff have time to prepare for their meetings. We need your help! If you can donate a snack/appetizer or a dessert, please bring it to the main entrance of Kramer before 4:00 on either night.

Art news from Mrs. McWilliams:
Once again we are doing the Audubon Art Show at Kramer, I think this is our 4th year!

I will bring all artwork to the OCAC for the art show, because I want to mat and label it. All students who enter get a ribbon, certificate, and gift bag with some small art supply inside, like pencils or markers or paint. Students can enter, even if they can't attend the art reception. The art show will be up the weekend of Mar. 30-April 1, and the reception is on March 30th, 10-5.

This year I am requiring all students grades 1-5 to fill out a self-assessment sheet. If they can't fill it out, they can have me or a parent/caregiver help them. They are not due until Mar. 18th, but I want to get them by Mar. 15 so that I can mat them. I am doing this early so that I have time. All students are invited to enter, but the drawings/paintings must show effort and completion, they should be show-worthy!
