And they're away for the summer. Good-bye!

Our last week of school was fantastic. We had great end of year activities and beautiful weather. Thank you to Mr. Musgnug and the 8th grade teachers for organizing and coordinating the 8th grade fun day at Evergreen Adventure Park. Thank you to Ms. Blake for organizing and coordinating the 7th grade Activities Day. A huge thanks to Mr. Musgnug, Ms. Hannon, Ms. Schmitt and Mr. Sirdofsky for organizing, coordinating and managing the 8th grade Recognition Ceremonies. Thank you!
I wish you and your families a restful summer with time to recharge and re-energize and look forward to seeing you in August.
