THANK YOU VETERANS-4th Grade
A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Unfortunately, COVID-19 seems to be all I talk about here lately! I apologize, but it is important for me to be as transparent as possible regarding this topic. As I reported over the weekend, we experienced our first positive case. Additionally, I had a few families reach out to me to discuss quarantining their children for unrelated personal situations. I ask that you and your children do not jump to conclusions when classmates transition to our Connected Classroom. Many factors weigh on our families, and I have always said: "family first." Please know I am a phone call away to discuss your individual circumstances and concerns.
On a happy note, as always, your generosity was truly overwhelming regarding the 2020 Thanksgiving Food Drive. It was a pleasure to witness the joy all around the school as we came together for this very worthy cause. Stay tuned for totals and our pizza party winner!
On behalf of the staff, please continue to do everything you can to keep you and your family safe and healthy!
Grace and Peace,
Mrs. Hibler
