A Message from the Principal
Lauren Meeks, Maggie Jistel, & Erin Uhlaender
Mustang Pride!
October 14-18 is National School Lunch Week! Please take a minute to thank our amazing cafeteria staff for keeping our students well fed for breakfast and lunch! Letters, cards, sweet treats, or a simple "thank you" would mean the world to them!
Safety is our primary concern. Please be mindful at drop off and pickup that there are little people crossing the streets and possibly not paying the best attention to traffic. We kindly ask that parents do not have students cross in the middle of parking lots or streets. We have instructed our staff to correct those who cross outside of a crosswalk. Please be patient as we get all our student to their destination safely.
We hope you all have a great weekend!
Lauren, Maggie, & Erin
