Dear Stallion Families,
Thank you for your continued support. We are truly living out our motto....Together We Can! Without your family support, we would not be able to accomplish all that we are with traditional on-site learning, remote learning, technology troubleshooting, homework and more!
Now more than ever, I am so proud to be the principal of Janie Stark! The partnership between parents and staff members is what makes this community the BEST school in CFB!
Again, we know these times are not easy. We feel blessed that you have entrusted us with educating your child on campus or from a distance!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman
