Principal's Message
All,
I hope you have been enjoying the winter break and finding time to visit with family and friends. A busy month lies ahead with school and district programs, so please mark your calendar. In addition to our PTO meeting and the next district parent academy program, the Brooks Crossing music department and your very talented children will host a presentation of musical gifts as our school bands, choirs, and orchestra perform for you on Wednesday and Thursday nights (January 9-10). We look forward to the return of students when schools re-open on Wednesday, January 2, 2019.
Happy New Year!
