Dear Families,
A new adventure begins! This year, we are taking flight on a journey full of learning. I know it is going to be a year filled with fun, joy, excitement, adventure and memories. I personally want to welcome everyone to the 2023 - 2024 school year. I have no doubt this year is going to be AMAZING! I can't wait to see our 5th graders again, and I am looking forward to meeting all our new 4th graders. I hope you can make it to Meet the Teacher on August 15th at 4:15pm.
Finally, With the new school year just around the corner, I want to share important news and information so that you and your child will be ready for take off on August 17th.
Remember, we all row!
