Mountain Avenue Thursday Update
12/16/2021
Season's Greetings!
It's hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day of school before Winter Break. Please note, tomorrow is a regular schedule school day. (Only secondary schools have tomorrow off.) It seems just like yesterday that it was August and the first day of school! I hope you have a wonderful, restful, and safe winter break. It's this time of year where I find myself reflecting on how lucky I am to be the principal of such an amazing school. From our fabulous students and families to our outstanding teachers and staff, you all make our school such a lovely Bear Family!
Happy New Year and Cheers to a bright and prosperous 2022!
See you in January!
Go Bears,
Principal Scott
