North Star News - Family Edition
September 2022
Message from Dr. Llewellyn & Mrs. Watkins
We had a great first week of school. The students are very excited to be sitting in groups and enjoy eating lunch in the cafeteria each day with their friends. It makes my heart happy to see the students eager to come to school each day. I love seeing them happy to get off the bus or out of the car each morning. Thank you for sharing your children with us.
Mrs. Watkins and I are looking forward to a great school year. We cannot wait to welcome parents and families into the building for events again - it has been a long time!
If you have questions or concerns about anything moving forward, please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us. We look forward to seeing each of you soon.
North Stars Always Shine Brightly!
