A note from Mr. Dubinsky
Today, along with Cub Scout Pack 382 and Cub Master Don O'Brill we had a Flag Ceremony in remembrance of September 11, 2001.
During the ceremony we honored our very own school nurse, Sarah Bird. Ms. Bird was stationed at Camp Pendleton where she served as a Corporal of Marines in 1st Radio Battalion. Thank you for your service!
Thank you to Mr. Johnston for doing an awesome job on the bagpipes.
