Principal's Message to Hornet Families for the week of May 16th, 2021
My heart is filled with gratitude this afternoon for the opportunity to serve this community.
Special thanks to Mr. Estes, Mrs. Romero and Mrs. Williams for their contributions last week with testing. Because of their efforts we wrapped up a smooth week of testing. It was great to have so many scholars on campus and it really makes me look forward to next year when the scholars will be back in the building. We also had a moment to thank Officer Melton for his commitment to our campus and the safety of our students during National Police Week. The May service day went really well, we had a pile of crushed granite delivered Friday evening. Special thanks to Mrs. Bealko and Mrs. Bergman for organizing over 30 volunteers to come out and help weed the flower beds in the front of the school and spread the granite. The transformations were really nice, look below for the pictures. This week we look forward to another great week of teaching and learning on our campus and the Big Book Give Away Saturday morning (more information below).
