Dear Families,

Wow! We had an amazing first two days!! The children entered the building calmly and joyfully. We were so happy to welcome current and new students!

Thank you to the PTA and parent volunteers for your support! They provided a lovely welcome back breakfast for our staff, set up balloons for opening day, and have been working hard to help us deliver classroom supplies. Much appreciated!
