Principal's Message to Hornet Families for the week of May 9th, 2021
This past week there were numerous outpourings of support for the amazing teachers on our campus. Parent volunteers showed up daily and brought donations for our amazing educators. I want to thank Maraba DiRaddo, Dr. Mikelson, and our amazing assistant principal Mrs. Pfeiffer for their coordination in making this past week special for teachers. I would also like to thank Mr. Estes and the testing team for creating such a smooth testing environment for our scholars.
This upcoming week we have PTA Meetings on Tuesday and Thursday, Testing Tuesday through Friday, and our final service day on Saturday May 15th. This year is rapidly coming to a close and we are finalizing our end of year celebrations, look forward to more communication regarding these events.
