Mrs. Wright
Greetings Students,
I hope you are all enjoying your summer fun. Can't believe that August is here. We celebrated Pawpaw Moses' ninety-seventh birthday yesterday, which always reminds me that school is coming shortly. Hope you are getting ready for the school year. I miss you all and can't wait to see you. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Mrs. Wright
