A Note from Principal Reilly
If you didn't hear it from your child, Pajama Day was a big hit. Each month we have set one day aside to promote school spirit. See below for all the fun we have planned. It was also great to see all the parents, grandparents, and family members attend our January assembly. Each month a different grade level will have something fun planned to perform.
I want to make sure you are aware of two dates coming up. On February 10th it is National African American Parent Involvement Day. This is always a special day to join as a community to celebrate who we are and share our stories. We welcome all families to join us on this day to hear from our Hamline University partner president, Dr. Fayneese Miller at 9:00am, visit your child's classroom, and eat lunch with your child. Hope to see you here. On February 20th we will be holding our annual Open House. This is a school event to not only have fun with our current families, but also welcome new families. We can't wait to see you there!
