Principal's Message
To help keep the growth going I encourage you to read with your child each night. Students benefit in many ways from listening to reading. They develop better fluency, understand that you value reading, practice the skills learned at school, and develop a closer bond with the reader.
Thank you for continuing to support learning at home!
Sincerely,
Ann Gwynn
Principal
