Be Kind, Work Hard, Be Brave
Note From Principal Graham
Every student received a free book this year. As you enjoy the summer days, take an opportunity to sit down and read for at least 20 minutes a couple of times a week.
Have a wonderful summer break and enjoy the time with family and loved ones. We look forward to seeing everyone soon for another amazing school year!
