Week of May 4, 2020: Teacher Appreciation Week
Principal's Message
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to thank all of our teachers for their hard work in keeping our students engaged during remote learning.
Thank you to those students who have sent us photos thanking their teachers. Students, feel free to send additional photos of letters of appreciation to your teachers throughout the week.
We're always looking for stories to highlight the amazing work our students, teachers, and families. Email us if you have news that you’d like to share! We’d love to hear it!
Have a great week and remember, "Everything is Possible, Nothing is Unimaginable".
-Stay Well
