Mirage Delivers Again This Weekend Capturing A Silver Medal In Connecticut- Way To Go!
Parents & Guardians:
We had a ton going on last week and I tried to capture as much as possible. Nevertheless, this week will present just as many opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. I am so proud of our students and staff as each day they aspire to reach their highest potential. I can't wait to see what great things this week will bring.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Go Grizzlies!
