From the Principal's Desk
Dear Parents,
I am excited to share that the March Sneaker Ball is officially sold out! We can't wait to see all of our families in the building for this event. Just a quick reminder that this is not a student-only event, and all students must have a parent ticket.
Let's take this same level of excitement and energy and apply it to our preparation for the GMAS in grades 3-5.
Spring break is just around the corner, and we want to make sure our students have every opportunity to continue learning and growing during this time. We are excited to offer our Grades 3-5 Spring Break Lessons, where students can participate in fun and engaging activities and have the chance to win prizes for completion!
To participate, all your child needs is their laptop and internet access. If your child needs internet access, they can register here for a hotspot through the school. The lessons will cover math and reading and will be tailored to each grade level, ensuring that students can continue to build on their knowledge and skills.
We encourage all students in grades 3-5 to sign up for our Spring Break Lessons and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and grow. Not only will they have the chance to win prizes for completion, but they will also be setting themselves up for success in the future.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to excel!
Best regards,
Dr. Maisha N. Otway
Principal
