Principal's Message - April 6

Happy Wednesday!


Greetings!

Welcome back!! It was great to see all of those smiling faces on Monday morning (I think the parents were as excited as the kids!!). I hope that all of you had a wonderful and relaxing Easter vacation. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It is incredible to think about how fast this year is flying by! Trimesters one and two are completed and we have just over ten weeks left until the end of the school year. There is still so much to accomplish. Please keep our kids, teachers, and staff in your prayers as they work hard to continue growing in their knowledge of academics and faith each and every day.


With Blessings,


Katie Dempsey
