Principal's Message
Celebrating the 100th day of school is important to help students understand the passing of time, the value of the number, and the acqusition of 100 days of learning. I am always amazed at the various ways classrooms and students creatively display the number. This year was no exception. The costumes, posters, and T-shirts demonstrated the joy of learning we have experienced during the first half of the year.
I look forward to the next half!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Gwynn
