Principal's Message - May 25th
Happy Wednesday!
It is so hard to believe that we only have 16 days of school left...and less for the 8th graders! There is still much to accomplish! Enrollment is looking outstanding for next year and we have lots of tours and new students doing "shadow days" every week. This is great news, as our school continues it's upward trajectory.
Please pray for our teachers and students as we work hard to finish out the 2015-16 school year. I hope that you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!
Have a great week!
With Blessings,
Katie Dempsey
Principal
