MESSAGE FROM DR. CHURCH

Dear Totem Falls Parents,


It seems like an eternity since our 30 year celebration for Totem Falls this past fall. PTO held a successful fund raiser, students enjoyed a birthday pencil gift, and we planted hundreds of tulip bulbs at the base of the flagpole. The fruit of our labor is blooming and there are a few pictures below. There is also a tree planted that the staff purchased as a way to acknowledge Totem Falls’ anniversary. It is so gratifying to see such evidence of beauty here at school, especially given what we have gone through the past couple of years. It will be an annual reminder that we can power through difficult things and find the beauty.


I hope your spring break was fantastic. I was excited to return and many students have shared with me they are so happy to be back at school. Music to our ears!


Sincerely,

Craig

A BIG THANK YOU TO TOTEM FALLS PTO!

The Totem Falls PTO parents provided breakfast, snacks and dinner for teachers during conference week and we SO appreciate it! You're the best!
