A Note From Your Principal
Well families, we made it! First semester is in the books! We have had such a wonderful semester getting to know your kids. Thank you for sharing them with us! As we move into winter break, continue being diligent about hand washing, mask wearing and social distancing. Spend time with family and make new holiday traditions. Welcome the new year with hope and excitement and we will see you in 2021!
