With that comes the anticipation of some fun upcoming events. Please the details below! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding in regards to making the shift of the date due to weather. This decision was carefully considered. We chose to move the date due to the pending weather forecast. If we moved the event inside, we risked a possible quarantine of the whole grade level. With the upcoming recognition ceremony we didn't want to take that risk. The weather looks great for Thursday!
