June 2023 Newsletter
A Note from Mrs. Davis
Dear Sawnee Families,
Thank you for an amazing 2022-2023 school year. Everyone made all of the new family members feel welcomed and supported. We certainly worked together to get back into the buildings with volunteering and visiting. We are looking forward to even more opportunities in 2023-2024 school year as we have worked with PTO to establish dates almost every month with activities. Please continue to check our website and social media for updates, especially regarding the beginning of the school year.
For those Sawnee Family members moving to different schools, we wish you all the best. You will always have a home at Sawnee.
We wish everyone a wonderful summer and can't wait to see you soon!
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to give feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. It is a pleasure to work with all of our families.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Davis
Principal
