April is finally here!

Can you believe how time flies? It's already April! Newsletters are going out today and first of the month payments are due! Johnny is going to be doing some magic tricks and other fun stuff today so be sure to ask your kids how class went.
 Sadly, the first graders were not respecting their team leaders and comic book teacher yesterday. Apparently a couple of students in that group got into my locker ( all students know this is a kid free locker, adults are only allowed to get stuff out of it) and started playing mancala and openly ignoring Tasha and Marcus,their team leaders. I was shocked and disappointed because that group has been doing so well in Chess and Johnny's art class. So, today they will not have class with Johnny. I know this may sound tough, but I have to draw the line. Today instead of having art class they will practice their step dancing and have a group meeting about respecting each other, the Empire space, and listening. I know this group has some great potienal to do better, and they will! Good luck!

 It's icky out today, but you know the saying April showers brings May Flowers......So a rainy day schedule will be posted up around the building. All staff will have this schedule on hand so if you're running around and don't have time to stop and check the schedules, ask an Empire staff member! Or better yet, ASK ME! My number is posted all over the building and most of y'all have it by now, so don't hesitate!
