From the Principal
Greetings!
We have had so many wonderful events, activities, and opportunities for learning taking place at school and in our community. These next two weeks before Spring Break are no exception. With that in mind, I encourage you to carefully review the information below. I look forward to seeing you around the neighborhood.
