Farewell and Welcome Back: We would like to take a moment to thank Ms. Einsel for her years of dedicated service to our school. She has made an incredible impact on our students and staff, and we wish her the very best in her well-deserved retirement. At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome back Ms. Preeti Kumar to the Eagle's Nest! After her leave of absence, she has returned to take over the 5th-grade class. We are excited to have her back, and we know the students will benefit from her expertise and enthusiasm.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Together, we will continue to help our students SOAR every day!
April Martin
Proud Principal
