Note from Ms. Moulton
I cannot believe that this year is coming to such an unusual end. As I complete my first year as principal of our fantastic school, I want to thank all of you for your tremendous support this year - both while we were in school and during our remote learning. In a weird way, I feel that I have gotten to know so many of your families in even better ways as you have quite literally welcomed all of us into your homes for the last three months. We have a truly amazing staff and an equally amazing community.
A HUGE thank you to all of those who participated in the "Wave Parade"! It was such a show of community and meant a great deal to the faculty and staff. There are MANY pictures posted to ou school facebook page!
Take your "End -of- Year" Picture this weekend!
Our walkway has been decorated for YOU to take your "last day of school photos". Due to the upcoming move and construction, this *may* not be accessible after today. (Sorry!) See the photos below. If you take some, please share them with us! We would love to see and share them!

- Monday: Make Someone Smile Day (if your child wants to share a joke during tomorrows Morning Announcements, please email it to me TODAY)

Morning Announcements! - Weekdays at 8:45am
It has been wonderful seeing so many students and families for Morning Announcements each morning at 8:45, right before classes begin. It is a great way to start our school day by being together even though we are not in the same place. Each day we celebrate birthdays, join in reciting the Paws Promise, and do some sort of fun activity together. To join, simply log in using the Zoom link below
