Principal's Message

Below, please see some pictures of kids and staff who participated. Don't forget, today wear your Drug Free Dog Tag and encourage the kids to do the same.
Next Monday, which is Halloween, you and the kids are encouraged to dress like a super hero and somehow tie your super garb to one of our 7 CORE Values......Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Proactive, Considerate, Grit and Servant Leadership.
