Principal's Message
Thank you to all of the Veterans who joined us for our celebration this morning. We truly appreciate your service to our country. We know how important it is to recognize and honor our heroes. Thank you for bravely doing what you're called to do so we can safely do what we're free to do.
We want to thank our very own 5th grade student, Micaella Rivas, for singing the Star Spangled Banner and Judge Benavides for sharing words of admiration to all Veterans present. Our celebration concluded with our Veterans parading through each of our corridors as our students cheered for each of them.
A great big thank you to our staff and parent volunteers for ensuring we were prepared for our event with decorations and the food for the reception. Without your help this event would not have been possible. Thank you for your gift of time!
