Thank you
THANK YOU for all the sweet emails, cards, and gifts that each one of you sent for Assistant Principal's Day/week. I am so grateful and blessed to lead a campus with so much support. I appreciate all the support that each of you have given me this year! The students have been a pleasure to watch these past few weeks. They are all so engaged and excited with all the learning that is going on. WOW!
