PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
The Meteor has Landed!!!
In October we celebrated Thanksgiving and had several assemblies that brought smiles mixed with some laughter. We enjoyed the warm weather and of course the big highlight was the installation of the Meteor!!! A big thank you to all who participated in our fundraisers allowing us to make this purchase. Also a special thank you to KP Projects for the quick installation allowing our very excited students to get out there and try it. So far the response from students has been “out of this world”!!
November is Report Card month and we look forward to seeing all of you at parent teacher conferences on the 28/29th. A notification will be sent when Parent Portal is open for you to sign up for your meeting time.
