Message from Mrs. Durso
Wolf Pack,
We hope you had a meaningful Memorial Day honoring our nation's heroes. Learn about the history of Memorial Day.
Last week, we had our 5th and 6th grade chorus concert. Thank you to Mrs. Peterson for leading this group of talented performers!
If you are in the mood for some ice cream, tonight is our Baskin Robbin's Spirit Night! While it's not the same as our Fall Scoop Night, you may get to see some teachers while helping raise some funds for our school.
In Partnership,
Kelly Durso, Principal
Cali Loewenberg, Assistant Principal
