From Desk of Administration
We want to thank Ms. Beard and Mrs. Romano for leading our vocal music program and Mr. Romano and Mrs. Jones for leading our Instrumental Music Program. Our winter concert was incredible. Our students made incredible growth from the beginning of the school year to now.
Our Art teacher, Mrs. Meyers, helps create an incredible environment for young artists to thrive. If you have not had an opportunity to see student work on display at school, here are a few samples of artwork below. It is amazing to see the outstanding talents of our students as they develop their artistic talents in school.
