Message from your Proud Principal
It's been a busy week so take time and enjoy the weekend with your kiddos! I wanted to share a happy moment with you to get your weekend started. As I was walking around and visiting classrooms this morning, I walked in and saw this special moment. It's our PreK students celebrating Friday! I hope this puts a smile on your face like it did mine. Happy Friday!
