Principal's Message
Firecracker Families,
Thank you for trusting us with your children. We are loving getting to know them and all of you. We are so proud of our little Pre-K Sparks and all of our Firecrackers for ROCKING their first few weeks of this school year! Lots of learning is occurring in all grade levels and we are proud of our students' academic progress. As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
Always,
Dr. Stephanie Manley
