A message from the principal
Happy Thursday!
Spring has sprung! We are feeling it throughout our school! We are sure enjoying the awesome weather. We loved being around in Kinder through 3rd grade this week seeing how much our students have grown in identifying sounds specific vowels and word families make. They have come so far and we are so proud. Thank you for reading with your children at home.
Tomorrow is the day! Nothing Bundt Cakes orders are due! We are so grateful to our PTA and appreciate your support! Our students and staff benefit greatly! Thank you for those oders!
Don't forget to mark your calendars next Thursday March 30th for Open House from 5:30-6:30. We look forward to seeing you then!
Take care,
Dr. Jamar
