Principal's Message
I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break. It was wonderful to have so many parents on campus for our 1st Annual Turkey Trot before the break. For a do it yourself event, it was a tremendous success. Thank you to Mrs. Brown, our SBTS, for the awesome idea! Congratulations to our top runners for giving it their all and scoring the coveted medal.
In the season of giving, we will be supporting a sister school during this holiday season. If you are a family that is able, we would love to provide to many children who are in need this holiday season. Please read below about our donation drive for Woodburn Elementary School.
Our 4th through 6th grade students will be participating in FLE Human Growth and Developement priot to winter break. We will be sharing informaiton about the lessons this evening in our parent coffee. Please join us at 6PM if you would like to learn more. We will follow up with specifics for our upper grades families if you need assistance locating the lessons in schoology.
Sincerely,
Stacy Kirkpatrick
