The Lion's Share
February 2024
From the Principal . . .
Thank you to everyone who attended Family Night. We had so much fun sharing our learning with each of you. Our next event at the Pride is our Someone Special Dance on February 9th, from 6:00-8:00 pm. (See more info below).
By now, you should have all received a survey to complete about Settler's Point. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to complete it prior to Feb. 5th. This will help me reflect on how to make improvements. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Our Step It Up fundraiser begins on February 6th, with our assemblies for students. They will learn all about what to do and the prizes they can win. Emails will be sent to you throughout the fundraiser, to keep you up-to-date. Our finale, "Day of Awesome" will take place on Friday, Feb. 23rd. Be on the look out for volunteer sign-ups. Thank you for always supporting our PTO fundraisers, which go along way to support our students and campus.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our dance on February 9th.
Thanks,
Andrea Emerick
Principal
