Running Slow and Finishing Strong | Job quotes, Inspirational running quotes, Finished quotes

I can’t believe we are in the 4th and FINAL quarter of third grade!  This year flew by!  Please help encourage your child to come to school prepared to learn every day.  Math homework should be completed nightly and students should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes per night.  Consistency is key – I know we are all tired and ready for summer fun, but FINISH STRONG! Hard work will pay off!
