Defer Dragon's Burning News
Friday, April 24
From the Principal
I am so proud of the way your children worked this week! I appreciate the hard work they are doing at home, putting first things first. I also appreciate the support you are providing them to continue their learning. You are doing a great job at home, balancing the new resources, technology, and all the things going on in the world right now. We miss you all very much and in the link below you will find our staff video to let you know we are thinking of you!
