Happy New Year!   It was great to see the smiling faces of students returning from Winter Break.

Safety is something that is always on our minds, and Navy's safety patrols play an important part in that. Patrols are also role models, highlighting student responsibility, accountability, and what it means to be a Navy STAR across our building and on our school buses.
