 Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are now in our second week and have enjoyed watching the wonderful relationships between our teachers and students develop. We are happy to see the students smiling in the hallways each day. The PTA has been awesome and provided pizza for the entire staff at Back to School Night. They have shown support by providing materials and funds to teachers for their classrooms.
Enjoy the weekend!
Augie, Scott and Heather
