Note from the Principal:
Dear Staff,
Happy Friday! The school is coming together (you are not going to believe the bathrooms in the 5th grade hallway - I was going to include a picture, but they were waxing, so I couldn't get back to take it!)... Each day it looks better and more ready to go.
This is an exciting time of year because we still have some fun adventures left before summer ends, but we are starting to build the foundation of a GREAT school year. Take a look at the upcoming dates to get a handle on when things are.
Keep thinking, reading and learning over the next few weeks and remember that each of you is an integral part of our team. All of our skills and talents put together are going to make special things happen at our school!
I can't wait to see you; reach out if you need anything!
Sincerely,
Chris
