A Word from Whittle
I hope this edition of our parent newsletter finds you well and eagerly anticipating the holidays with your children. While we will miss them during the breaks, we are all looking forward to time with our families mixed with a little rest.
Please save the evening of February 4th to come up to the school for a parent night. There will be a 5th grade Fine Arts program, cookies, cocoa, and time with your children learning about their academics. It's a fun and informative night.
Again, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your family.
Amy Whittle, principal
