A Note From Ms. Hill
Dear Starr Families:
This month Starr Coyotes will be focusing on COMMITMENT. Be sure to check out the More Than Words family resources on this newsletter. I would love to hear from families utilizing the More Than Words resources. United Way funds More Than Words at Starr Elementary. We are fortunate to have GREAT community partners!
As the final days of the 2020-2021 school year draw to a close, I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by students, families, and staff. Together we have persevered through many challenges in order to make this a successful school year. I wish all our Starr Families all the very best during the summer break. I look forward to welcoming you all back, relaxed and refreshed for the 2021-2022 school year.
