Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you had a great long weekend last week. It looks like winter is trying to arrive here in late February so we may be in for a colder one this weekend. You may have heard that this week was St. Vrain Kindness Week. It was great seeing all of the acts of kindness going on around our school. What is even better is that most of these things happen every single day, we just chose to highlight them this week. You all have wonderful kids and we love having them here at Erie Elementary. Thank you for trusting us to teach and take care of your children. If you would like to stay up to date with kindness week and see other fun pictures and news from school, feel free to follow us on social media:
