February 2020
Note from the Principal's Desk
January sure went fast. We had had so much fun on the 100th day of school! See the pictures below.
I have been getting a lot of questions regarding the date at which I will be out for my maternity leave. My tentative last date of work before my leave is March 20th, although we all know how babies have a tendency of coming when they want. I will be sure to share transition information as we get closer to the date.
February we focus on being kind and caring. This is one of my favorite times of year! Please ask your student how they are celebrating kindness at the school.
Sincerely,
Kelly Eagan
