Message from Ms. Kearns
Hello Bruin Families!
It has been a busy week at Bruin Nation, starting with last week's Pyramid Carnival. What a fun evening seeing so many families on campus. Next week is Homecoming and we have a number of activities planned. Please see the flyer below.
This week we celebrated our Custodians. They work so hard behind the scenes keeping our school looking the best it can. We are so grateful to Building Supervisor Guery Cespedes and his team.
Go Bruins!
Lindsey Kearns
