Principal's Message
Hello Falcons!
Can you believe there are only 7 days left of school? We have so much going on in the next few weeks! You're going to want to make sure you are here every day. But first, don't forget that we don't have school on Monday in honor of Memorial day. Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
This coming week, our 3rd graders are going on their last field trip of the year. They will be doing a walking field trip to explore our community.
Friday is going to be jam packed with activities. Our 4th graders will have their end of the year BBQ. Friday will also be our last Choice PE of the year.
Join us after school on Friday for PTC's End of the Year Family Summer Kick Off! The event if running from 4:00-6:00 pm. It's going to be a lot of fun. We will have Darth Mozart here performing Classic Rock covers. We will also have a number of food trucks and booths so families can purchase food.
Have a great weekend!
